seriessix Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 2,500 is a hell of a lot cheaper than keeping them in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upinwath Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Other countries just boot them out. What the hell we need to pay them to leave for is past me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabag Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Current costs to house a prisoner in the UK per annum are £37,500 for an adult and 42,500 for a young offender. £2,500......bargain They would have to re enter the UK around 15 times for it to be a loss situation So your point Roy is?

I'm guessing it's why bother paying them at all. Give me any reason why paying them is better than just shipping them out as other countries do.

max Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm guessing it's why bother paying them at all. Give me any reason why paying them is better than just shipping them out as other countries do. Probably because it would involve a lot more expense then £2,500 to have officers arrest them, drive them to the airport and accompany them to their destination. You do the maths, £2,500 seems a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upholder Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Tax payers money presumably? £37,500 per annum plus £2,500 Golden handshake. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
