GOVERNMENT LOOKING AFTER THEMSELVES AS USUAL

04.07.09, 2:31pm

This is not about prisoner's rights, it's about the Government looking after themselves. They know if we knew how many prisoners have escaped from our open prisons, there would be a huge public outcry.

Some of us have tried constantly to bring to this matter to the fore over the years and gotten nowhere! Prisons are meant to be a deterrent, not a holiday camp.

What we need now is a Telegraph-style expose on our prison system.

Any takers, Daily Mail?

MORE INCOMPETENCE

04.07.09, 7:43am

Once more incompetence prevails in British officials, and I can't understand the secrecy of the escapees names, It's about the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard, I wonder how much of a salary those idiots get.
