CRIMINALS WON'T LEAVE JAILS!

Sudbury Open Prison

Thousands of criminals are passing up the chance to go free from prison early each year, while dozens of drug dealers have been caught breaking in to jails! (Soft jails!)

Almost 40,000 inmates have turned down the chance to leave jail up to 18 weeks early and more than 40 outsiders have been caught breaking INTO jails, either to sell drugs to criminals or offenders trying to get back in, while at Sudbury Open Prison astonished staff reported seeing women - thought to be local callgirls - leaving the jail in the mornings!

The findings follow warnings from prison officers' leaders, who claimed inmates were often happy to enjoy "soft" conditions behind bars, where drugs are cheaper than outside.

They said prostitutes plied their trade in open prisons and criminals in secure units enjoyed breakfast in bed, satellite TV and sports facilities, while staff treated them "with kid gloves" and were "subservient" for fear of breaching their human rights!

Tory justice spokesman Nick Herbert said: "Labour's mismanagement of prisons is descending from tragedy to farce. How secure are our jails if criminals can break into them?"

The Prison Officers Association recently claimed many inmates did not wish to leave jail because life inside is so congenial and Assistant general secretary Glyn Travis said that at Everthorpe Prison in East Yorkshire, a drug dealer was caught breaking in at night to pass drugs to inmates through cell windows - even selling women's clothing to a transvestite prisoner!

A Ministry of Justice spokesman rejected accusations that inmates wanted to stay in jail, adding: "Prison is anything but soft and it is absurd to suggest otherwise."

Which is the more absurd - to suggest that prisons are tough or that they are so soft that 40,000 prisoners REFUSED to leave early and that drug dealers and call girls are free to come and go as they wish and prisoners are actually breaking IN to prisons to get back to the soft life they were forced to leave?

It certainly seems that Dr Neil Bentley, director of public services at the Confederation of British Industry, has it right when he accuses the prison system of being a "hugely expensive bed and breakfast" facility!
