The ThunderDragon: Overflow Prisoners Fed Takeaways

25 June 2007

Overflow Prisoners Fed Takeaways

Prisoners who are being kept in police stations because prisons are overflowing due to an utter lack of investment - to the extent that they are to release two thousand criminals early immediately, and twenty-five thousand criminals early every year - and they are costing £385 per prisoner per night. Plus, it has also been revealed that prisoners are being fed with takeaway food, with inmates at one police station costing £700 a week to feed on them.

Why are criminals being fed takeaway food on the taxpayer? That is an excessive waste of taxpayer's money, when cooking for them would would cost far, far less. Prisoners should not be fed in such a manner on the taxpayer. They shouldn't even need to be kept in police stations in the first place!

Prisoners shouldn't be fed takeaway food. It is, to start with, expensive and a waste of money. It also, however, opens up the justice system to other abuses - such as being sued for not providing a sufficiently healthy diet, which takeaway food undoubtedly is not.

The Ministry of Justice needs to do something to stop this absurd waste of money and the early release of thousands upon thousands of criminals - but they seem more interested in morris dancing.
