The current Labour government has come up with a novel approach to the problem of prison overcrowding. The answer? Let the prisoners out and hey presto no more over crowding! This is much cheaper than building prisons and it looks great in the statistics.
When challenged on this barmy idea, the new Justice Secretary Jack Straw has defended the move, saying criminals freed early would be "carefully selected" by prison governors.
We were under the impression these self same criminals had originaly been "carefully selected" to reside in our prisons for set period of time by judges?
It seems to us that we should now be bypassing the courts altogether, and have entry to prisons decided by prison governors, It could be a bit like sitting the entrance exams for Eaton, you do a written paper and then face a board in a verbal examination this will ensure that only the right "TYPE" will be allowed entrance, after all the governors will not want bookings going down due to incompatibility amoungst their "guests" will they!!!!!!
