Tories clamp down on law and order

  •  A few days after Andrew Mitchell resigns, when the truth has yet to come out, changes include:

  • Fines for prison bosses who fail to stop criminals re-offending after release, in a new ‘paid by results’ system.
  • Life sentences for gun-runners who supply lethal weapons to gangsters.
  • An ‘element of punishment’ in community sentences, which have been dismissed as a soft option by Right-wingers. 
  • Possible axeing of the custom of giving all prisoners £46 cash when they are freed from jail.
  • Curbs on ‘cushy’ jail regimes where prisoners can spend all day watching TV.

  • I note no changes are proposed regarding rude ministers who appear to suggest the police are lying.

    I also now note that prison bosses, and not government, the criminal nor the system, are now responsible for reoffending rates.
