Let's get rid of these holiday camps and lock this scum up in a proper nick. Where will they go while their charming abode is refitted? Let's outsource the whole thing to a country that knows how to operate a penal system.

prisons should not be anything approaching holiday camps. Prison are there, imho, to protect the rest of society from the criminals and the rehabilitation factor should be that there are so awful that no-one would want to go back.
If prisoners cause damage then they should have to live in the squalor they create.

Have never been in a UK one - only a police station cell in the Highlands and the door was left open - we camped out in there one stormy, foul night - student times. Super breakfast.....
Have been in American prisons and jails, the latter for a false accusation for about hours and the police realised they had made an error. I was a visitor to county jails and the prisons - but didnt have to witness a termination. Pretty grim in those places in Texas, even though most of them were fairly modern.

I have a friend who works in a prison. they do have tv's as they spend most of their time locked in cells. buying a cheap tv is probably a small investment against more damage through boredom or psychiatric issues.
I also know of someone who was in an open prison. he "earned" some kind of games console, and was frequently allowed out for trips with his friends and family. way too easy, in my opinion.
the suffering is about a losing your liberty. personally, I think the family and friends suffer more.

DT // nearly 1/3rd of those in prison are ex-services. //
That may be true but it is also true that there are the homeless and those from dysfunctional families who join the services to get a home and support . Therefore when they are demobbed they go back to their old lives which frequently involves drugs and crime.
Another factor is that several years of army life does not equipt you for civilian life it takes quite a while to adjust. It's a complete change in culture which a short demob course can not alter.
