Prisoners to be rewareded for going on the run

Prisoners who go on the run could have the time cut from their sentence, internal Government papers revealed last night.

Convicts will be able to count both the day they absconded and the day they were caught as time spent behind bars.

This is the most stupid idea I have ever heard. It is basically rewarding criminals for getting away with their crimes. It will just encourage more criminals to go on the run as all they will have to do is complete the rest of their sentence. It’s madness.

Thousands won't leave prison

A few days ago I blogged that the government are planning to release tens of thousands of criminals from prisons to help with prison overcrowding.

It now seems that the government were planning to release thousands more but those criminals like it so much in prison that they chose to stay because real life is apparently tough compared to prison.

The prisons in this country are so overcrowded that wife beaters are going to avoid prison because there is no room for them. Infact the government has shelved an entire new law to help battered wives because they would be unable to enforce it without prison.

Prisoners that do choose the option of early release frequently go back to crime because they see no incentive not to. An example would be Anthony Thompson who raped an expectant mother only 1 day after being released. The woman can thank the Labour government for their incompetent management of the prison system that has lead to criminals being released just to go back to their criminal ways.

Let him die

Ian Huntley is receiving extraordinary preferential treatment in prison to 'keep his spirits up'.

The killer of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman has tried three times to kill himself and the authorities are keen to avoid another attempt.

Officers guarding him have been told by governor David Thompson to treat Huntley - and fellow inmates - as 'extensions of their family' and use their first names or address them as 'Mr'.

In addition, 33-year-old Huntley was given a series of privileges within weeks of arriving at Frankland Prison in County Durham - privileges which others would take months of good behaviour to earn.

Why should this evil man get anything at all? He shouldn’t even be given soap. If he wants to kill himself they should let him. Prisons are full and they need the space. He would be doing everyone a favour if he killed himself.

More tax to pay for better police

A tax on every household to pay for neighbourhood policing will be proposed by ministers next month.

The 'community safety levy' will be charged by directly- elected local police boards and the cash will have to be spent on making each area's streets safer.

The Home Office claims the levy will dramatically increase accountability, but critics fear it could play on the public's need to see more bobbies on the beat and lead to large increases in taxation.

Why can’t there be more police now? Why does there have to be yet another tax to fund a service that is crap now? If the government thinks we should be taxed more they should show that they can be trusted with the money we have or it’s just going to go into a black hole and will just be wasted.

At the moment we have police that can’t even arrest wanted criminals because there is no room in the prisons to accommodate any more criminals and this is also leading to more criminals having time taken off their sentences and released early. This includes foreign prisoners who have abused our hospitality.

Voting Labour costs lives

More than 2,500 people have been stabbed to death on Labour's watch, according to figures soon to be published by the Home Office.

Yet, over the same period, only nine of the countless criminals caught with knives have been given the maximum jail term.

Take 2006, a year scarred by a series of teenage stabbings, and the latest for which full sentencing statistics are available. Some 1,226 under-18s were found guilty of carrying a blade yet only 72 were put behind bars.

The average sentence was 3.4 months, which because of early-release rules, meant that a typical offender spent just eight weeks in jail.

The remainder escaped with a fine, a community sentence or - in 113 cases - a discharge. Only one of the 7,817 knife offenders of all ages received the maximum sentence in 2006.

As you can see voting Labour costs lives. Labour no longer even try to enforce the law or punish criminals. Those that do get sent to prison are released early and thse that terrorise communities get ASBO’s. If they disobey their ASBO nothing will happen to them.

Labour said they were tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. The truth is they couldn’t be softer on crime if they tried.

Crime is so bad in London that there is an average of 8 violent crimes in London per day and that’s just on the buses!

In Scotland it is so bad that you are more likely to go to prison for shoplifting than for sexual assault. The prison officers who have to guard these criminals have realised that crime pays which is why the government now estimates that 10% of prison officers are corrupt and the government are now setting up a unit to death with corruption in the prison service.

Muslims control the prisons

Muslims have a lot of power in this country. Our leaders kiss their feet and if we don’t like what they do we are labelled islamophobic and hauled before the courts. If we are sent to prison we soon find that Muslims even have control in there, more so than even the prison officers.

Whitemoor Prison is a maximum security prison that holds 500 inmates, a third of which are Muslim. According to the government’s own reports the prison officers are losing control of the prison to gangs of Muslims who are also being radicalised.

Whitemoor isn’t the only prison where it seems that Muslims have the upper hand. In Belmarsh the prison governors would rather take the word of burglar than Chris Langridge, a prison officer who has served at Britain’s top high-security jail. The Muslim accused Chris Langridge of naming his sniffer dog Allah while he says he named it Ali.

Of course the criminal’s word was taken above a law abiding officer and now the law abiding officer has been transferred to he Isle of Sheppey. That’s the thanks he gets for being a law abiding citizen and keeping sure the prisoners are kept in check.
