The figures quoted in the article sound incredible. If that is a realistic indication of the success it would have here then we should do it immediately.

Certainly part of the problemOur prisons are rammed with EU criminals rather than deporting the fuckers, who shouldn't have been allowed here in the first place.
But let's all hail the wonderful 'four freedoms' our EU overlords have bestowed upon us.
And there you have it. To most folk that`s the case so re education and rehab is a waste of money as it`s not required, to the other 10 - 15 % it`s still a waste of time because it`s seen as no more than getting an extra hour or two out of your pad and brownie points towards parole with absolutely no intention of going straight once outYou want to kill people for things like not paying their council tax? Bit extreme but definitely proves the rabid gammon point.
Doubt it, the thing that scares me about prison is being locked up with other criminals and not being able to see my family and kids when I want. Losing your liberty and being locked up is a massive punishment to the vast majority of people....Those who it would not deterred are not deterred with our current system either and in reality are more likely to keep going back time and time again under ANY system.
No that was in a gulag for denouncing comrade CorbynYou've changed your tune There was a time you were happy for folk to go to jail for contempt of court and be put in solitary confinement in max security prisons for weeks
Absolutely correct just in the same way, that most businesses would never bring in a 4 day week even if the overwhelming evidence supported a significant increase in productivity and profits as a result.Imagine this ever getting past the gammons in this country. Even if the evidence is clear that spending the money to improve conditions, educate and properly rehabilitate inmates will have a massive impact on crime and improve all our lives, the British public simply wouldn't accept inmates being treated like human beings.

If only there was some way of doing this before they went to prison.I read a study a couple of years back that said around 50% of prisoners in the UK are functionally illiterate & only a tiny minority of them receive any education to improve on that.
I can't imagine someone who can barely read or write & has a criminal record is going to have much success finding gainful employment once they are released so what else are they going to do to make ends meet but go back to crime?
Surely at the very least we should be making sure that everyone leaving prison can read & write?
Well, let's write these people off at 22 then eh Fuck em, they had their chanceIf only there was some way of doing this before they went to prison.

Whilst West you're saying is probably true, although not really because these people will likely go back into their culture which lead to bring a criminal.how much money is saved by a drop in re offending?
Hang all the nonces, nutters and murderers. Deport all the foreign prisoners. Build proper prisons to replace the Victorian ones. Put repeat offenders into hard core gaols with shit food, work regimes and horrendous conditions. First time offenders into rehab prisons with a sliding scale for seriousness of offences. Listen to the requests of victims more. Bring back the pillary and corporeal punishment for petty crimes.
Piece of piss this prison reform.
Thought you were serious at first
I am.
Tommy Robinson deserves to go to prison.
Amazing how many lock them up and throw away the key comments.
Granted there are utter scummers in jail, who will never learn and will be a constant drain on the courts and prisons.
If you've ever had a drunken punch up or sped in your car you have no grounds to say anything. You punch someone, they crack their head on pavement and die, you're going to jail. Someone steps out in front of you when you're doing 40 in a 30 you're going to jail.
Or maybe that everyone leaving school can read & write? In other words act first to prevent crime rather than promote it by letting kids go uneducated.
