Building prisons in other countries

[FortuitousFluke]

The problem is we seem to struggle to run prisons on our own soil, build one in a 3rd world country and stick in a rather lackadaisical workforce and you have the recipe for something which may come and bite us in the future.

There's the potential for that, but i'd hope for some level of administrative support. At the end of the day the odds of failure are probably quite high, but I don't think there are enough examples of pilot schemes that are truly innovative in comparison to current delivery. I also think if it can be made to work it provides quite a promising blue print.

Chances are when it's actually looked at properly the risk will be too high, but I think it's positive that somebody is proposing something a bit new, it's not like any other solutions have been offered, well apart from the old send 'em back argument.

I'm sorry, I don't see where the problem is with that? If you don't want to go back to your craphole country don't come here and commit a crime. Simple

exactly, being given a chance to live here, which we should give to the appropriate people is a privelige. Break the law and you give up that privelige.

We should just send all our criminals to Australia again. Couldn't possibly make it any worse!

 

[rainbowGuy]

but why should UK pay money to build prisons - surely sending them back should be enough..

probably cos their current prisons are in **** state and haven't improved since we built them originally back when they were a colony (because Africa) therefore we're unable to send prisoners back due to whatever International agreements we've signed re: human rights etc..etc..
