West is BEST
A hot topic at the moment. What is going on? They have always been places where people misbehave but it seems to be off the scale at present. Are we too lenient or is there nothing to be done about drugs, phones, violence etc?

Yes, lady in the back with the large spectacles and green scarf.

Too many people being sent to prison.
Many of those with drug problems shouldn't be in prison, but should be given proper help to kick the habit. Trouble is, there aren't enough rehab resources.
Not enough prison officers and quite frankly, many of the existing prisons should be knocked down and new facilities built fit for the 21st century.
Too much emphasis on just locking individuals up and too little emphasis on rehabilitation.
Too much notice has been taken by successive Governments in 'acting tough' on crime to appease the flog 'em, hang 'em and f--k 'em ' brigade, with little or no constructive thought given to what is the right way forward for both, prisoners and society as a whole.
I have to agree with what Michael Gove says:'many aspects of the justice system are themselves practically criminal'.

After watching the program on Channel 4 last week, you would have to be a nutter to accept a job as a prison officer.

You are wrong.

We have the highest prison population of Western Europe with the fewest number of foreign nationals, around 10,000 (of around 95,000 total) compared to 14,000 foreign nationals in France and 19,000 foreign nationals in Germany, 17,000 in Italy, 20,000 in Spain.
