We may need more prisons after the EHRC investigations into the Labour Party results in a host of criminal prosecutions.

Keep building prisons & they’ll keep filling them. Julia go into prisons... speak to the people that work there... listen to them, they’re the experts, they know what needs to be done. Then write about it. Prison officers unsung hero’s.

Surely if there are no criminals, there would be no need to have prisons.

Time to learn from other countries. The U.K. system clearly doesn’t work. Recidivism is high. Costs taxpayers billions. Norway for example has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, currently 20% and one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

It is a big subject. It all starts with respect or a lack there of. Add in a conflict of culture and the crime melting pot begins.
-
Agree with that.

Erm, fix the causes of crime? Look towards countries that have better rehabilitation rates and lower offence rates?
-
Don’t confuse Julia with sensible logic like that.

We only need more prisons because we allow in so many crooks, thieves, rapists, murders & terrorists. Sort out our shores then we won’t need new prisons!!!
-
And start repatriation of the convicts who are in prisons clogging up the prison system too, maybe?
-
Oh yeahhhhh

Deporting the criminals back whence they came if they break our laws! Let their country deal with them. It’s a privilege to be here not their right! Anyone coming to our Country lives by our rules and break them means you get sent back!

We're certainly going to need more prisons to put you and your chums inside, Julia.

How about using some of the Foreign Aid budget to send foreign criminals back to their home county to serve their sentence?

Maybe not the whole solution but a bloody good start along with ending automatic release at 50% week end jail time for some offences and deportation of foreign crims

I refuse to give these people the same sad arse get out of 'it's my upbringing' I want to feel safe, on the street, in my own home, car jacking on the up, old peoples homes invaded and the owners brutalised, rapes, copious drugs on the street, stabbings as a right of passage!!

Here in Belgium, there is a different mindset. If you commit a serious offence, then yes, you go to prison. However, if you commit, or are convicted of a first offence carrying a sentence of 1 year or less, you are tagged and undertake restorative justice. 1/2

Well that sounds like a top idea, as long as the crime isn't major or hurts anybody in the execution.
-
No, like I say, it has to be a relatively minor crime, one that we would deal with in magistrates court, not crown court. And it has to be a first offence. It has been shown to greatly reduce reoffending, thus reducing the chance of graduating on to more major crimes.
-
I also think that people that have served short sentences for minor crime should have their record wiped, if they carry that forever they'll never have a job.
