According to a report prisoners at HMP Pentonville are living in "endemic squalor"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6937781.stm

Now is it just me that doesn't care about this after all its not hotel its a prison and they are to be punished, some may say rehabilitated.

Are we going to see millions of pounds now thrown at the prison?

Ah can a don please move this to GD, sorry !

Hey if they're getting a free meal every day and somewhere to sleep who cares.
 
imo its stuf **** to the convicts. shoulda thought about the conditions before mugging an old granny or stabbing someone! I think this country has its priororities wrong, the welbeing of law breakers should be near if not at the bottom of any government to-do list
 
Prison is about a loss of personal freedom, not forcing people to live in disgusting conditions.

By putting people into places like this, at the end of their prison term you end up with a load of prisoners with a chip on their block against society. Furthermore, getting a job after any conviction is incredibly difficult (rightly so) but these people don't have the skills to go out and make something of themselves without relying on others giving them a chance. And thus you end up with a cycle of re-offending. At the moment, for many guys - going to prison is like going to criminal school...

I really think the way forward is to teach trades and skills in prisons because upon release it gives them an opportunity start a new life.
 
Those who commit theft and minor crimes should be retrained, but those who re-offend and/or commit more serious crimes should be locked up for a long long time and made to pay for their crimes.
 
Just wondering where the overclocking or the cooling relation is here ;)
Thread needs moving :p
 
teach them, dont pamper them.

My mum does a lot of work on adult learning, part of which is educating people in prisons, and its an improtant part of the rehabilitation process.

However, prisoner's "rights" shouldnt extend to Sky TV, free Internet, ect ect. 3 squares, a reasonable bed to sleep on, good sanitation, and the oportunity for self improvement, is all they should really be getting.... hell, its more than a lot of people on the dole get!
 
You're absolutly right. Those prisons should be better ventalated to allow the convicts to properly overclock their PCs. Since we don't care about the conditions I reccomend useing delta fans.

As an added bonus if any of the convicts try to steal the fan they'll loose fingers instead.
 
All Prisons should be overclocked,that way terms would go quicker!

3 Years in a stock clocked prison is 36 months of boredom I should imagine,in an overclocked Prison you'd probably be out in a year or so,maybe even less if it's a heavily clocked quad prison. :D

I'm not laughing at people in prison btw,it must be a Hell that many don't deserve.
 
i have a solution for over crowded prisions.

Now this solution is only for people whom are convicted on 100% solid tight cases. and of serious offences.

This solution would pay for new prisions schools and all sorts!!


Build a massive compound, let the prisioners in.


At strategic points around the the compound build sniper towers.

Let people pay a fee to fire a single shot from a sniper gun of their choice from the towers. Even better let members of the public whom have been affected/effected by a criminal inside get 1 free shot.

The result is money raised and prision populations controlled lol.

This is said in Jest btw!! i know what some people are like on here. :D

Saying that i have a feeling feek and a few others would get the credit cards out though lol. :P

Fill the guns with blanks. Everyone wins. I wonder if I could buy some convicts off the government for cheap labour - as long as I promised to help get them skills and re-educate them...
