    Well this is a prison threads

    No problem - I was basically "caught" with a tiny bit of cannabis on me. I was taken to magistrates court and the mag, bless him thought it was big deal and gave me a £100 fine. I was living rough at the time, didn't pay it, moved to London and was picked up hitchhiking with ID on me. They took me to the magistrates court. he gave me 14 days and I spent it in the nearest Category B prison.
    My story.

    Forest away years ago.

    A steward pulled me up in the ground whilst I was having a coffee. He asked if I had been drinking and I said yeah(coherent but absolutely hammered). Next thing I know is plod taking me out the ground and charged.

    Weeks later I'm back up there in court and given a £75 fine for being "drunk in a designated sports stadium". I was p***** off with this as my appearance was delayed due to two locals being called back into court after unpaid previous fines on top of their latest offence of burglary. Their punishment was £150, so does that make me half as bad as them?!

    What I will say is that I have never gone into a football ground p***** since.

    I hear that you've got between a 40% and 80% chance of getting one during the week but a 99.99% chance at weekends.
  • It would seem that lying is part of your make up. Never screamed abuse nor got pissy. Wouldn't flag you either.

    I just had a little dig at your non factual stats and got called a cunt for my troubles. Come to think of it you probably screamed it at me in a really pissy, gammon like, tone.

    I can take being called a gammon because, you see, it means nothing.

    Now, if I was being called a culturally appropriating gammon then that would bother me.
    You still contributed fuck all other than pull apart anything I say.
  • Wtf is a gammon?
    It's usually a fat sweaty white male that hates anything different

    I completed your half baked stat so that it was a complete picture.

    Anyway, as you can see, we've moved on now.

    C'mon nice old spanner, if @Shine166 won't play the game tell me what a gammon is.

    Please.

    It’s on the menu at Belmarsh tonight.

    Your prayers have been answered.

    I'll add to it by saying it's a white woke folk term for anyone they disagree with or who dares to challenge their falsehoods.

    They're usually fat and sweaty as well.

    Chips or jacket potato?
  • Two wrongs do not make a right, so I accept what you are saying.

    Put it another way, if you saw the culprit walking down the street after they served their sentence it would be very hard not to seek retribution.
    Vigilante action and retribution seems to often go disastrously wrong so I'd hope an individual was locked up. If they weren't punished and were still knocking round my neighbourhood it would be hard to stomach.

    Thank you BBW, you're not a bad lad really.

    A reference to Glaswegians then?

    I think that just demonstrates how easily things can get out of hand and go wrong very quickly. I always thought a pre-match beer is a tradition and a law.
    There was a time where I used to be one of the last out of Royal Oak, I could in no way be described as sober. I rarely drive to a game so I will probably at least 4 pints pre-game if I use the train. I think either you have been rather unfortunate or I am a well functioning drunk.

    Agreed.
  • Community service 'punishment' for murderers, rapists, robbers, thieves and drug dealers? Seriously??? Surely their being back in the society eventually doesn't mean they can just be 'punished' in such light way?
    People need to be locked up if they are a danger to society - this would have to cover violent crimes.

    What about Jack Shepherd, the Thames boat killer, should he be allowed leave to appeal, even though he's been on the run since before the court case?

    For me, its no.

    Do they serve pig products in prison?

    I doubt it in Belmarsh, most of the inmates do not eat Pork if you get my drift.

    I wasn't I was suggesting that. The bit at the top was a reply and the bit underneath was my ramblings.
    But it's a fact only a handful of people get whole life terms so that leaves an awful lot of awful people who will be let out at some point. What we have been doing for years obviously doesn't work for some so may be a fresh approach might.
  • I think some people are putting too much emphasis on rehabilitation and not punishment for the crimes. The punishment element still needs to be a big part of it, surely

    Nobody is saying it isn't but you also need to cut reoffending.

    Yes they are

    it was a genuine question as i think all the meat served in prison is halal for that very reason

    I like the idea of a fresh approach. Castrating some violent/sexual criminals prior to release would be one solution. It would help the offender manage his aggression/impulses and law abiding citizens would find it easier to buy into non custodial oversight. It would also act as genuine deterrent which current sanctions seem incapable of providing.
  • There is a balance to be had between rehabilitation and punishment IMO. It feels to me that people on both sides of the argument don't have that balance. Inmates that want to better themselves should be given every opportunity to do so, but prison shouldn't be pleasant. I also have a view that for life serving prisoners such as Levi Bellfield (who has been in focus recently), prison should be as unpleasant as you can possibly make it. I think he should lose all rights and the Police should be able to extract information about other crimes from him using lie dectectors/drugs etc... Not to take cases to court - he is never getting out, but to find out the full extent of his crimes which I am sure have been underestimated.
