Ian Watkins stabbed in prison

Probably worse tbh. Most groups can advocate and get attention and mitigation, e.g. disabled.

Almost nobody cares about prisoner's conditions and advocates on their behalf.

I can’t say it’s top of my list of things to give a fuck about if I’m honest.

It comes just below candle subsidies in Merseyside on my list public spending priorities.
 
It’s a sign of good writing but I found Time with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham a very difficult watch.

Richard Huckle was a prolific paedophile and was murdered inside.

It’s an understandable viewpoint, especially in the current economic climate. There are obviously some convicted criminals like Watkins who don’t deserve rehabilitation, but it’d be wrong to tar all prisoners with the same brush. Defunding the prison service is to the detriment of society as a whole imo. Not really the thread for it though as it probably deserves a separate discussion.
 
The world will be a better place with some sections removed permanently. This **** and his ilk are definitely in that bracket.
Your day to day prisoner obviously needs protection from some of the loon balls they find themselves locked up with, others not so much.

I don’t really disagree with that.

Personally I think a lot of people are in prison who shouldn’t be. IMO prison should be if you’re a danger to society.

People who’ve committed fraud etc should be punished but should be punished where it hurts - take all their money and assets off them and make them do community service for 5 years rather than lock them up in a cell for 5 years.

The criminal justice system is fundamentally fucked of course in this country.
