The loss of their freedom is the punishment. To isolate people for years and allow them to do nothing is a sure fire way of destroying any hope of rehabilitation.

So what your saying is that people like, Rolf Harris, shouldn't be kept isolated, and be given benefits?

Not a pun, more a song I penned for the incarceration of Lauryn Hill...

I have no experience but I don't think most of them are locked up for most of the day. I've seen enough news reports over the years to confirm they can cause trouble if they want to.

For people who murder, such as the likes of Michael Adebolajo, and Michael Adebowale they should be kept in a prison like the Lincoln Gaol

String the *******s up I say!
I'm sure [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION] will be pleased that all prisoners can now add the ability to perform Billy Bragg's back catalogue to their CVs

Rolf wont get any benefits because he is an Australian not a Romanian
Lovely bit of nasty bigotry there. Well done.
I very much doubt re-offenders get the same rehabilitation second time round.
Christ on a bike grow a pair. Obviously a light hearted joke.
You mean casual racism?

Thanks Greens :(
Can't think of a worse punishment, tbh, the thought of a hundred and fifty badly strummed guitars going off simultaneously

Six perfect steel cables from guitars can make a nice noose for those who give up listening to it all

There you go.
Maybe they wont fret so much in the jail.
Prison playlist. Another brick in the wall. Anything from Slade. Jailhouse Rock.

Six strings is too good for prisoners.
They need three-string cigar box guitars -- but with the broad arrow burned into the cigar box.

You've made yourself look like a right div on this thread.
So do you think prisoners are banged up on there own in cell 24/7? What about their daily exercise? What about association? What about going to work or their education courses? What about when the go to the gym or the library or to get their food? Or should we stop all that as well?
Also do you think each prisoner is handed a guitar when they get out of the prison wagon? They don't! It's a privilege that would have to be earned and approved by the governor.
Ditto getting to open prison only the very low risk prisoners will end up there. Granted people do fail to return but have a look at the stats in 2013 roughly 200 prisons failed to return whilst ROTL. When you consider there are just shy of 90k prisoners in this country then it makes your claim a bit daft really.
Finally your comment about making prisons nice places to go I suggest you spend a couple of nights behind bars and see how "easy" you seem to think it is.

A great move that is certain to strike a chord with inmates
