Can't understand why prisons don't use the available jamming technology to sort this out. >:(

For a start, it's not legal and, secondly, it doesn't work.

I don't know why they don't just ban mobile phones. It's supposed to be secure, after all. ::)

Surely you only need a mattress and a tin bucket to "rehabilitate" or am I old-fashioned like that Rumpel bloke? ::)

Yes, but they won't want to come back for a return visit if the customer service  and hospitality is lacking.

Agreed. No need for escorts. It's easy to make new friends while taking a shower. :)

Having recently spoken with someone who is serving time I can assure you that not all prisons are holiday camps :D

But still far too easy.  Granted, many cat A and cat B's are hard places...  ...but they tend to be reserved for more serious crimes.

After all, its supposed to be a deterrent, and anyone committing a crime warranting a custodial should be doing hard labour.

A former workmate of mine served 3 years for gbh. He told me the downside is the boredom. It was eased by games consoles etc. to while away the hours, but its still very boring.
My thought was that due to the fact he had inflicted life changing injuries on someone, he hardly had room to complain about being bored.
I didn't actually verbalise my thoughts though, as even in prison his nickname was pshyco.  ;D
Another former workmate served 12 years for murder. Even 10 years after his release he was still institutionalised.
At 9 pm each night he would go out to his garden shed, make a cup of tea, watch an hours TV, then go to slep in the bed he had in there.
He couldn't sleep indoors with the missus, as he couldn't sleep beside someone else, and the bedroom was far too big.
Eventually his Missus ran off with another bloke. Hardly surprising.  ::)
