prison conditions?

Question

Earlier today in Britian the prison inspection body stated that the prison for sex offenders was a disgrace. Rats and cockroaches everywhere and prisoners cells covered in human waste.
My question is who the hell cares about these b******s? Kill the lot and reduce the burden on decent taxpayers.

Would all the do gooders in the world be so happy to protect this scum if they happened to be directly at the recieving end of the twisted minds. I for one would not forgive a violation on my family. Dead people do not re-offend.

Answer 1

It wasn't a prison for sex offenders. It was Pentonville, not paedophile. Have you tried cotton buds to clean out your ears?

Answer 2

There seems to be an awful lot of naive people on here. Many innocent people are in prison you know. For offenders who have commited crimes the punishment is loss of freedom. Why should they have to do anything like cleaning their own cells? The biggest criminals in the world are free. Take a look at your own governments/leaders.

Answer 3

Why can't the prisoners keep their prisons clean? They're sitting there all day long, doing nothing. If they don't like cockroaches and rats, let them deal with the problem themselves.
Prison isn't supposed to be pleasant. Or am I missing the point.

Answer 4

Prisoners have it way too easy thats for sure, I mean what happened to bread and water, no games, tv, rights. political correctness is driving me mad, what the people who suffer cause of them. For the more serious offenders like rapist, murders etc. bring back execution sentence or instead of testing on animals, why not test on them, they're going to die anyway. They should be made to suffer, the victims certainly did so why can't they.

Answer 5

I heard that on the radio today and thought the same as you!
Who cares about their conditions, those prisoners werent worried about their victims when they comitted the crime, why should we worry about them?
Let them live with rats and cockroaches, its no more than they deserve

Answer 6

Here's a clue: most of those sex offenders don't have life sentences. Which means they're going to get OUT some day. Which is better: keeping them in filthy, horrible conditions so they get angrier and sicker every day they're in, then letting them out...or, keeping them in reasonable conditions, trying to educate and rehabilitate them so they at least have a chance of not reoffending when they get out?

A society can be judged by the way it treats its least desirable members.

Answer 7

why not have the prisoners clean their cells and make them work for their own upkeep and save the taxpayers some money. they use to have to work, when they got out, they'd rather have a job than go back to prison. the supreme court ruled that it was cruel for the them to work for their keep. funny, the honest taxpayer has to work for theirs and no one thinks its cruel. the supreme court seems to have a double standard.

Answer 8

I did laugh at hearing that the report said that Pentonville prison was "full of vermin".

That's why they're there, surely?

Answer 9

I could not agree more with you, hang the lot of them like they used to do, and it would also save the tax payers millions of pounds a year, which could be put to better use.

Answer 10

And who would pay to kill them? The taxpayers, that's right. So why would you want to spend more money to kill them than the amount of money needed for food and a cell?
