A quote on the news this morning said that you wouldn't keep an animal in the conditions in the wing - if that's the case then it should be ideal for criminals. If you can't do the time etc etc.

Hasn’t this been reported before? Not surprised, seems to be ‘how it is’ these days – the funny thing is, they probably will win. But I find it extraordinary that the conditions of a jail seem to be more important than where their victims are now housed, 6 foot under.

This country is so wrong, none of it makes sense anymore as far as im concerned.

New expensive paving slabs in my town while soldiers are low on weapons. Home owners getting sued by their burglars and losing. Grannys getting sent to jail for not paying their council tax cos her druggie neighbours were putting dirrty aid infected syringes through her letter box and the police wouldn’t do anything. The judicial system being full of corrupted old hags who are out of touch with reality. Need I go on.

Is that from the Daily Mail or a reliable news source? Don't prisoners get some money on release to tide them over until they get a job/sign on/start twoccing again*?

Be ok if they do get damages, theb it can go straight back to pay for the accommodation charges and upkeep of their stay, also to their victim's for the crime they committed.

If only.

Apologies I didnt mean reported on arrse, but on the news before.

wasnt there someone not long ago who got falsely imprisoned for like 10 years and after being released was told he had to pay back board and lodge to the prison, cos he was wrongfully taking it. Something like that anyway.
