Isn't it amazing how enlightened some of the downsizer members are.
firstly they tar all prisoners with the same brush "they must be druggies" "scum" "burn them"
secondly they ignore the fact some people can change.
thirdly they ignore that all people are individuals and sometime circumstances lead to a life of crime.
fourthly they scream "what about the victims"
reading the responses I cant help but wonder if they would be the ones outside the prison gate waiting to watch them hang a child for stealing a potato.
We are supposed to be an enlightened society isn't the aim to help miscreants so that they can become a productive part of society not let our anger at what they have done rob us of our humanity.

I wasn't entirely serious when I suggested they'd make kindling. Honestly.

And you're the only one to mention drugs, and describe them as scum. Yep, some DS members are rubbish.

To be Fair,some on this forum are More enlightened than other`s when it come`s to offender`s,there is one that has worked inside a prison,and there is another that works with offenders and victim`s,

Me,i`d have them on Dartmoor in the quarry with a 14 pounder.

Who said this then? Don't nullify individual responsibility-there are few circumstances that take that away. Enlightened, you might be surprised.


I should read this before you condemn the world for expecting justice (unless you don't believe in it?); https://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/publications/inspectorate-reports/hmipris/thematic-reports-and-research-publications/remand-thematic.pdf

I know the author, he is quite a thorough man.

Chris, I would start with people who have been abused, raped, robbed, bereaved, I might be wrong?

Iaf I am getting a sense of personal history in your response by the level of anger in your wording and the sarcasm around "Enlightened, you might be surprised. " it seems to cloud your view.
individual responsibility is a issue that has many aspects yes we are all responsible for our actions however we are only human and can be put in a situation where we make mistakes. Yes some crimes are unforgivable but this is a debate about prisoners in general not the worst case scenarios.
And Question are you after justice or vengeance their is a fine line between the two.

devastated I expect-I hope you write to the Prison's Minister to complain about the effects of their restructuring policy?

Nice try at deflection, not really a sensible part of a good discussion-I haven't personalised it please don't attempt to. You need to consider how what you say appears.
