This is the latest idea to fight crime and reoffending, a category-C “super prison” in the heart of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, at a cost to the Taxpayer of around £253m.
What makes this different from old fashioned prisons is this:-
Offenders will be called residents and not the sigmatic “prisoner”
The Governor will be called the Director
Cells to be called rooms
Windows will have no bars
Residents will have a shower unit in their room, along with power sockets for TV, games consoles and tablet computers.
There will also be a fully-equipped gym and indoor/outdoor sports pitches, snooker tables, table tennis tables etc.
classrooms and private tuition will be offered to improve education and trade skills.
Residents can use tablets to keep in contact with friends and order food from online menus in the kitchens.
The Deputy PM is promoting this kind of prison, and said “I am interested in punishment because that is what the public expects. I am not really interested in stigmatising in a way that is counterproductive to my driving down reoffending.
“What you have heard, which I like, is giving offenders something to lose. If you come to a place like this with gyms, workshops and the ability to do skills education, you get a glimmer of the future of how your life could be.
“Then it is up to offenders to take that second chance. If they don’t do that, they lose their entitlements, their perks. That is what really matters.”
I just don’t have the energy to say anything else. I just need to lie down in a dark room and pretend this shit is nothing but a fucking dream!
