I gave the quick solution to early release....open up military camps until the prisons are built.Abhorrent. However, the "gesture of good will" is not allowed and this incident should not ever have happened. The prison will have to answer why they put this woman at risk. However the perpetrator was arrested the same day (in hours infact) and recalled to prison. The reason they could do this was because of the scheme. Well done Labour for making a tough decision.
Correct, that is part of their role. So how could they have done that if the prisons were full? They couldn't because the police at that point will be told to stop policing. Yep to stop arresting people. No threat or deterrent to criminals will lead to a breakdown in society very very quickly. Well done Labour on making a tough decision.
If there's no incentive to behave (early release) why would you bother? Part of that rehabilitation is showing you can behave. Other than A cat, prisons are run on the goodwill of the prisoners. Staffing of a ration of about 50-1 means that this has to be the case. Take away early release and you have to increase staff by a factor of 10. That'll be very costly and make prison punitive as opposed to rehabilitative.
As for building new jails I believe they are doing that... I know you'll agree while Labour are good, they'll need a bit more than 2 months to plan, develop, initiate and comission the raft of new establishments that the Tories didn't t bother their arse to even look at. Good work Labour.
I haven't seen anyone get 3 years for throwing stones... I've seen them get that for throwing bricks, flaming bins, scaffold poles, overturning cars, torching cars, assault, gbh, threats to kill, antisemitism, racism, sexism, homophobia and even worse. I'd love to see evidence of this 3 years throwing stones incident if you can share. Aside from that, I think we're still using the sentencing guidelines installed under the Tories and they're keen on thieving from everyone so may have encouraged leniency. I can see why you may be upset potentially finding yourself in that same situation in the near future.
Trainers and a suit, like a MOTD presenter. Performed badly on a TV show... Yep, hang him...
The 20,000 place programme of new prison places put in place in 2020 by a Conservative government was hit by planning constraints. It was due by 2025. Hardly couldn't be bothered their arse.
I didn't suggest hanging Lammy but Foreign Secretary......jeez. That's an indication of Labours calibre.
