Just don't think you can complain or protest about conditions in prison etc... when you've taken someone else's life. You lose that right just like the other guy lost his life. common sense?


You watch, If Corbyn was to get in power these c***s would be getting the ability to vote!!!

Prisoners should be allowed to vote, within certain parameters. They are the only disenfranchised people in the UK - and consequently have no representation in government. They're prisoners, not animals. I believe that a degree of enfranchisement would be beneficial to the prison system, conditions and prison employees lives.


Why do they act like animals then?

They don't, not in vast majority of cases. There are some who probably are definite 'wrong uns' but in my experience most prisoners aren't fundamentally bad people.

But if you keep treating people like animals, they will become them. The important thing with prisoners is to remember that we will be releasing these people back into society. If you treat them like animals, and just punish them and take out societies frustrations on them, then you'll be releasing people who are more of a threat to society than before they went to prison.



I heard it all now, murderers, rapists, Thugs, thiefs, ar not fundamentally bad people ????

What the clucking bell are they doing in jail then. This guy gunned someone down in cold blood, who gives a fcuk if his cells a bit drafty, or he hasnt got access to the internet.

Prision is a punishment. The only thing they should learn inside is that they never want to go back as its so sh1tty.

The only thing I believe should be improved is that if the sentance is over 1 year,then re training should be in place for the last six months.

Other than that fcuk em.

They aren't, some might be, but there isn't really any evidence to suggest that more than a percentage of these people are fundermentally bad (ie irredeemably).

Personally I think prison has to at its very basis be aimed at reforming, rehabilitating or re-education of the prisoner towards a goal of becoming a functional member of society and that prison needs to serve this purpose above all others (and punishment has a role to play in doing this). And we should punish those who fail to engage in a series 'reformatting and re-education' goals with non release.

People should leave prison with a trade or skillset, literate to at least GCSE level, possessed of addressed mental health and addiction problems and a three year work placement in a different part of the country, with failure to complete that resulting in a return to prison.

The problem that arises from 's**ty' prisons, punishment driven solutions and nasty prison conditions, is that it simply doesn't result in people never wanting to go back (no one wants to go in the first place), but generally in an escalation of criminality and more issues being piled into the situation.

That's not to say a regime has to be 'what the prisoner wants either'.

Wasn't just anyone was his OWN UNCLE!!


Also if life meant life the scumbag wouldnt need rehabilitating for release.

From a legal perspective, murderers have the highest level of rehabilitation in the entire prison system. Does anyone know why he killed his uncle.

Murder is very rarely a crime without motive.

They get treated like animals because a majority of them do act like animals hence the reason they are banged up. Are you one of those do gooders that see everyone as angels and butter would not melt in their mouth? The guy on the rooftop is a KILLER so all the bad treatment he gets is justified in my opinion and many others opinion also. I think you just like to be on these boards for one reason and that is to disagree with everyone else's opinion....Take a chill pill please.

Says the ranting man

What I'm saying isn't really about do gooding or angels, but the reality. If you just put people in a cell 23 hours a day and then release them, what can you expect? Change?

Similarly prison systems which are 'harsh punishment driven' or 'violent hell holes' just produce more dangerous people, who then have to be released back into society, with minimal restriction, no real prospects and several years worth of issues and resentments, along with some increased criminal knowledge.

Obviously you can't help everyone. But you can help some people. Not everyone in prison is a raping sex pedo murderer or lacking in any reasonable qualities, but just fairly normal people.

We need a prison system that actually serves societies needs, not our own moral desires.


Not really ranting as you put.....Just that I notice that you have very odd ideas to many people who post. It makes me think that you think you are a very lonely person who spends all day posting and causing disagreement to one and all. I also notice that you post during working hours which leads me to think you should be working and not be the keyboard warrior you think you are. Its about time you respected other peoples views as they might just be different to yours instead of jumping about like a pit bull terrier. We all have our own ideas I am afraid and many of us think differently to you in a lot of areas.

I've heard it all now. Next your be saying they should adjudicate their own trials. Save more money for better play station games and back rubs.

I'm currently studying for my second degree, in Criminology, so its a subject that interests me. I also used to be against the idea of prisoners voting, until I realized that I could see no really valuable reason behind it.

That's why I'm trying to engage ideas and maybe discuss flaws in those ideas. I don't think I'm always right.

The problem with the idea of prison as just punishment and treating people like animals, is that you then have to release those people back into society. I'm not saying people are wrong, but its a short sited approach.

As for lonely, not really, and I'm self employed, so my work is conducted around this. I'm quite good at what I do, so I get a lot of spare time.

The mentally ill are enfranchised, provided they're not serving time 'for diminished responsibility' crimes. I thought that until recently, when I think Stuk or Sterling mentioned it (Could have been Seth).

The House of Lords, whilst they cannot vote in elections, do get to vote on everything that is passed in the House of Commons.

So it is only people serving time that are the only people in the UK who have no capacity to engage or be represented in the democratic process or any say in the country.

The point of being in prison is you've lost the right to take part James. Thats why your there... It rather simple when you break down the reason for it and keep the playstation and art therapist brigade at bay.
Its up to you if you want to give a back rub, but i suggest you put your crayons down.

No, it would inconvenience them and it would have cost implications.

Seems reasonable enough, but who represents prisons but not just that, the effectiveness of prisons to serve society if we don't allow prisoners some capacity to vote.

The problem of recent times is that any kind of prison cuts are easily sold to the electorate. Some of them make sense, others simply are political capital - such as cutting prison funding by 20%, reducing prison education and rehabilitation facilities. The consequence of this, is that rehabilition rates drop as a result.

I'm in no way a backrub, playstations give the convict a handjob kind of person. As far as I'm concerned the end result of prison is that the person coming out is less likely to re-offend (in fact I would argue for reforming prison systems to remove sentences, so that in effect release is goal driven by incentives that facilitation socialization and conditioning towards becoming a better citizen than when you went inside - but that's a longer argument).

For me, the right to vote, should be something a prisoner earns, same with any privilege in prison. The best method of rehabilitation is positive reinforcement.

I want a prison system where only people who have really shown solid progress towards rehabilitation are released.

There are plenty of people in prison for things like not paying fines or TV licence evasion - so they are hardly all the scum of the earth (although from some of the more hardline posters these may seem like crimes punishable by death). However, Strangeways is a little different so pretty much a moot point. I always thought Strangeways is a Hospital/prison - am I wrong?
