Taking back the privately run prisons

I remember Dezza’s views on some prisons being handed over to those twats G4S a few years ago. I wonder how many more the government will take back and what those incompetent buffoons at G4S will have to say for themselves.

It seems to me that the root cause of the problem is drugs.

Maybe I am being a bit naive but would it really be that hard to cut off the supply?

It’s smoke & mirrors, a Government ploy to take the pressure off their handling of public sector prisons, the take back isn’t permanent they will return it to g4s, after all g4s is Theresa may’s husband’s company.
Birmingham prison is not the worst prison in the country.
The problem is manyfold.
Not enough properly trained prison officers.
Too many managers promoted way above their competence levels.
Officers not getting the backing from their managers.
Rewarding bad behavour & ignoring good behavour.
No incentive for prisoners to work in the workshops.
Too much state of the art gym/freeview/playstations/very loud stereos etc.
Human rights.

I genuinely thought prisoners would be fighting each other to get into the workshops and escape the boredom of the cell block for the day... Is that not the case? Is totally voluntary? and do they suffer a shortfall in manpower in the w/shops because of this?

Some prefer to work but many drag their heels to be sent back to play on their playstations, look at them as they are in their daily lives at home

When I’m too old to fend for myself, I plan on buying a replica AK47 and then I’m going to hobble into a bank on my Zimmer frame and attempt to rob the place. Hopefully, I’ll get a life sentence and I can spend the rest of my days getting three meals a day, a daily hot shower, all day on a PS13 (as it will be by then) and as many drugs as I can handle. Let’s face it, I’ll be a million times better off than if I was in an old folks home.

Rather than rob a bank a better plan would be to wipe out some paedos they are a protected species & would guarantee you a life sentence, if the judge looks to be going lenient with you tell him he’s next on the list.

Just in case its a bank protected by G4 make sure you have a gutless petrol vehicle to make your escape in which should ensure capture after your successful raid :D

Will you be able to get me a list of some paedos? A few rapists would be good, too :beer-toast1:

Conflict of interest with G4S and Theresa Mays husbands dealings with them is just wrong on so many levels, once again the taxpayer bails them out then it will be handed back. All prisons should be state run. No excuses the ongoing privatisation of everything from Prisons to forensic services within the Police is disgusting! Funnily enough those who push it through have stacks of shares with said companies and they all get stinking rich while joe public get s a poor service and ripped off.

Need a revolution in this country.
