Prison officer strike! your thoughts??

[ukdobby 223]

Why are they striking?even more so why are the prisoners behaving like they are when the do gooders have got them confy cells,tvs to watch games to play.mich star food,surely lifes good behind bars.

The prison officers are basically scared. It's a direct result of Tory cuts, expect more riots, assaults on staff, escapes and walk-outs.

[Halibut 12]

really??? prison officers wanting to strike because its a little dangerous and not very nice dealing with criminals???? well what did you expect?

what should happen to make it safer in prisons is that all visiting is behind a glass screen with a phone like the USA, any new inmates subjected to detailed searches before entry to the main prison, wire mesh screens above prison yards and hey presto no drugs, shanks or mobile phones.

segregation of likely groups to cause trouble job done!

 

What a staggeringly naive post.

Perhaps it's not as good as you think it is then.

So you do accept that maybe it's not a great place to be. I wonder how many people know the percentage of prisoners who have mental health problems.

That's true.

 

It's worth reminding Maggie Thatcher's flying monkeys that 10% of prisoners are former soldiers.

 

Funny how the right-whingers are happy to send our boys overseas to fight and kill in unpopular wars, then abandon our soldiers when they come back in pieces, both physically and mentally.

Anyone capable of joined up thinking would immediately see the link - legalised drugs = less overcrowded prisons.

Well said. The ones who end up on the streets get a load of criticism chucked at them by right wing simpletons too. It's all their own fault, apparently.

In my experience ex service personal are more likely to be critisied and abused by lefties. Didn't the EDL a right wing group set up to defend our troops from abuse and criticism, get constant abuse from the left.
