tell that to many pensioners, who often get treated worse than animals.
Its what i suggested before, swap the prisoners, put them in care homes, let them see what that's like, and then put the pensioners in the prisons, leave all cells unlocked of course, on tap tv, and no need to worry about extortionate heating bills, three square meals a day, a cuppa with bisquits at the end of it, companionship, and the guards will look a lot kindlier on them i'm sure.
And you won't need so many, the surplus guards can be deployed in said care homes, job done.

Chatted to a few mates that left the forces and went to work in the prison service. they reckon it would be easier being in the criminals position rather than theirs.
Prisoners get three meals a day paid for by the tax payers, as well as heating, electric and gym membership. Not forgetting the fact that they are exempt from council tax on any house they own while being looked after by the tax payers!
Prison Guards on the other hand have to pay for their meals in the canteen which gets the meals from the same kitchen that feeds the inmates. They pay tax on the pathetic wage and have to endure endless abuse from inmates while acting in a politically correct manner!
Lets not forget the courses that inmates can do to prepare themselves for release again paid for by the tax payers, mean while the next generation of doctors, dentists and various other professions are getting themselves in debt to the tune of £9K a year. It must be so hard being a criminal!!!

I thought the whole idea of being in prison was to be punished for your wrong doings?
From what you are saying Ratter, the fact that they can not see their family is punishment enough. In that case our armed forces are being punished by the government by being sent on operational tours, they can't go home at the end of the day to see loved ones. They also have to share a room with 13 other people with no privacy between bedspaces.
Prisons need to be tough institutions to try and get people to change. Most are glad to get sent back to prison as it is easier than trying to get by on the outside.

Househusband, you seem to be taking this a bit personally, I don't make laws, im not supporting them, im just telling you what they are.
Comparing the armed forces is ridiculous. They signed up to join the forces knowing the circumstances that they could face, they are not prisoners, they go back home for time off and even on a tour of duty they get time off for socialising etc. A totally different thing.

I cant actually believe you think that way, in truth it is probably about 2% would want to go back to prison. I think you watch too much TV.

I have to say Ratter15.. you say that the armed forces sign up to join and they know the circumstances that they will face.. So do the prisoners. They know that by breaking the law they are signing up to go to prison. I have absolutely no sympathy for them at all and think that they get life inside too easy, and this does come from experience of visiting prisoners so do not tell me that I watch too much TV. There are quite a few prisoners in the system today who do not care that they have commited a crime and have absolutely no intention of stopping once they are released, and it is a lot more than 2%.
BagPussAA I estimated 2% of prisoners actually want to return to prison for the easy life!! please misconstrued what I said.
I have also visited people in prison so I do know a little of what I am talking about.
Where have I said that I sympathise with any prisoner?
I simply stated what the law is and everybody assumes im sticking up for prisoners.
Read the facts, read what I have written before getting excited please.

The majority of prisoners have drug or alcohol problems. Many have mental health problems, and a big percentage are illiterate.
On the outside their lives are so chaotic that once they enter prison for the first time it's almost certain that they'll be back again and again.
It would be impossible to make prisons so strict that these people would avoid it.
