“Unpaid work for prisoners” is a funny way of wording slavery.
seems like they want to open up prison space for more protesters
Or, they could do the sensible thing and declare a national emergency and confront the issue. Rather than pointing at window dressing and hoping people will eventually get over us having a completely broken criminal justice system.
Personally I think electronic tagging could be used massively more. Anyone committing a non-violent crime doesn’t need to be removed from the population, (at great cost) they just need to be controlled and restricted. Of course it needs
to be enforced and that’s probably where it will fail from lack of policing.
Didn’t the conservatives try this with “short, sharp shock”? Look how well that turned out.
Get them digging the foundations on building sites by hand
I guess we really are in the ‘do anything but spend money to fix the problem caused by underfunding’ era aren’t we?
And before the usual crowd comes and goes ‘well we’re broke, we can’t afford things, we’re a first world country that somehow can’t pay for things’ – it only gets more expensive the longer it’s left to rot.
We can either spend an amount now, or spend double or even triple that amount in 5-10 years; it only gets more and more expensive to fix the problems, only gets to a point where it takes more and more time.
Electronic tags are useful imo for folk who don’t need to be in prison but also need monitoring for a time.
Hard unpaid labour seems a bit fucking daft though. It costs money and time but prison should be about turning these people into functional members of society. (I know it won’t work for everyone but it will work for some, and help society in the long run)
Unpaid work like slavery?
Look, if it’s for the worst of the worst, with concrete evidence they did it I could kind of get it, but we’re in a self-loathing nanny state on the lookout for mean tweets with hawk-eyes precision, whilst simultaneously turning a blind eye whenever a middle or upper class prick is fucking scum, like the Lady that ran the Post Office extortion scam, the Judges that not only allowed fraudulent evidence in their courts but then actively tried to stop the innocent victims of it being released etc.
Honestly, we’ve always had a two tier justice system, and it depends of the colour of your collar. Why the fuck would I support this bullshit?
So what about when they repeatedly breach the conditions of their tag and have to go to prison, repeated breach of bail hearings, etc?
Because a great deal of people who end up on tag do not give a shit.
Unpaid prison labour is moving us towards the US system which is even more broken than ours. How exactly is indentured labour supposed to reintegrate people into society?
What will the penalty be for people who refuse to complete the work and remove their tags? Send them to prison? Which prisons? The ones with no spaces?
True, but it needs to be voluntary. Oh you Mr Edward Colston.
So will deporting 10,000 fucking foreign nationals
You can take their rights away, but don’t call them nasty names!
Really, and who will check to see these measures and used?
Govt can’t control the laws they already have let alone a new bunch, where are the people to oversee this coming from?
Just another joke in lawless UK
>tougher’ unpaid work
Isn’t there a word for that? And it’s not “unpaid work”…
If it’s voluntary thats obviously fine and good but taken to an extreme you get the prison system in the US… which isn’t something we should be emulating
