Should prisons be made harsher?.

Would this be for ladies' prisons as well?

Ooh, you stirrer! The human rights lot and Brussels would never allow it. You'll be advocating hanging next!

Ooh Petallus

I do agree though that prisons do seem just a little too soft. And aren't some blokes appealing for nooky rights too?

NfkDumpling

Yes it would be for ladies prisons as well.

Frank

I think they have those already Nfk
They wanted access to IVF - there was a thread about it.

Ladies in prison? Visions of nice polite misunderstood girls wearing bustles. Of course they need all mod cons and comfy sofas.

In history, prisons did not have the amenities of which you complain, so according to your carefully thought out argument HUNTERF there would have been no criminals or prisoners then. What's that? There were? oh, must be just another wind-up then.

La-la-la-la - so not listening

So Jane they have to make do with a rude magazine and a bottle? Why? Is it to keep their women in line by keeping them fatly pregnant?

Graceesmum don't forget most houses were a bit short of amenities too.

Not my point, NFK - this is a wind up.

Frank, come on now - you're blowing your cover! I was inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt before, but seriously - no beds and no heating....

I know, he's just being Frank.

You mean when people say "Now let me be frank....."??

The prisoners could sleep on a stone floor.
You are not expecting them to have lights in prisons are you?.
You will be expecting glass in the windows next.

Frank

Oh what a wag you are, Frank (or whatever other names you go by...)

Are you related to relic Frank?? Same surname...............

The punishment is the taking away of a person's liberty. Not making their lives a complete misery. You need decent conditions, classes and worthwhile occupations, and areas for fresh air and exercise. And a good diet.

If this is a wind up, I have fallen for it.

Surely it is!

The prison population would also be drastically reduced if the luxury of food were withdrawn. I'm surprised HunterF hadn't got round to that yet.

Totally off the wall Frank , what part of Birmingham do you live ?[

Me too, jingl, but I think the game's up now....

I wished I had 3 cooked meals a day free of charge. They need to make prisons places which people would not want to return to.
They could also be located on a deserted island.
They could also have prison ships out at sea.

Cos she's sending "the boys" round....................................
