Recent news wise there hasn't been anything in the last couple of threads about our dirty little secret - the failing prison system. Surprised as there has been a lot more coverage recently & the hidden (sorry, I mean prison) service typically gets bugger all press. Cuts endemic to the nasty party if applied to some other service would have shut said service down. Out of sight, out of mind I suppose. Easy to tear chunks out of what the public can't see & don't much care for or understand. Boo.

kingturnip posted:I imagine what's great about prisons from a Tory point of view is that, for the public, it's the equivalent of 'The Only Moral Abortion'. Everyone in prison is there because they're an unrepentant, dangerous sack of poo poo apart from anyone I like, who's there by mistake. I admit I've got a vested interest in the service; what disappoints me is that the horrendous statistics reported about assaults on staff etc go undiscussed everywhere; Parliament don't give a poo poo & every mouth breathing daily mail reader assumes that officers are well remunerated institutional thugs.

Pistol_Pete posted:After watching the eye-popping undercover Panorama documentary on the state of our prisons, it's pretty clear that the whole system could be engulfed in catastrophic riots at any moment. Not watched it. Don't really feel the need to. However since you said that I've had a gander on YouTube, it's been uploaded there. Had to close it as the comment section (not the best cross section of society I know) made me turn a bit red. To quote a snippet "Some of the prison guards are letting the drugs in and making a load of money while the Government turn a blind eye". Indicative of a lot of comments on public forums with regards to the situation. The internet is the worst place.
