This shows how deep the corruption goes in the USA justice system - couldnt happen here ?

A highly disturbing story BR and UK citizens (and Australians) should be wary of Nu Labour's continued and relentless plans to privatise jails.

I find it an utterley loathsome practice.

In my endless letter harrassment of Government Minsiters (I should be wary and take this story of a 14 year old girl seriously)..I wrote to the NSW Attorney General a few weeks ago and asked why he hasn't yet sacked the Comissioner for Prisons..a loathsome fat slug of bully who takes every opportunty to take to the media and threaten "pedos" and all manner of minor criminals that he's the toughest bastard on the block.

Yet there he was 3 weeks ago in front of government commission backing the local (Nu) Labour government's plan to privatise prisons and the warders service.

And how did he justify it ?..be detailing all the failures that were happening in prisons run by the government (and prison warder unions by association who naturally are against the plan). These failures include the fact junkies get more drugs in jail than out, there are no treatments for an offendor despite courts ordering it, rapes, beatings etc etc.

As I said to the MinIster in my letter-"umm doesn't this indicate the Commissioner is a miserable failure condemned by his own admissions and as he hasn't the good grace to resign-why haven't you sacked him forthwith ?"
I good the usual.."Minister most interested and thanks you for your letter blather blather blah blah and will reply eventually.."..he never does though.

I shocked even myself when a local shock jock warmed to my theme and got on the case but as his listerners tend to be on the moronic side the tale went no-where.

Be warned though...private jails en masse are planned for Britain and shares will be traded on the stock market as they are in the USA...and that means..there must be a lot more prisoners for profits.

So next time you see a roller blading pensioner..warn him !!

At the moment the British Public is fighting the TITAN JAILS proposals ( 3 x 2,500 jails built on industrial estates in out of town locations ) so perhaps it wont happen in the UK.

In some ways the UK is already being called Prison Island UK because of the CCTV and surveillance. The only people who seem to want to come here are immigrants fleeing countries where they are already under threat...so dont mind the lower level of physical threat in the UK - plus our amazing benefit system which gives money out without questions ( as long as you dont speak English )
