There’s a fascinating but quite terrifying thing about the British state these days, which is that it seems if you look closely at anything it does you’ll quickly find massive issues.
I have friends who have worked in the Prison Service. From what I understand it is no longer seen as a career with people doing a few years and then moving on. This is due to both the failing conditions and also pension reforms which used to make it worthwhile.
I can only see it getting worse as the experienced staff finish their careers. With an inexperienced workforce mistakes will be made more often.
Give this wasn’t something that has only just started happening, why the sudden interest in reporting on this issue?
People have been shouting about HMPPS falling apart for years and the only thing the government has done is release prisoners early to keep the system from total collapse.
One big prison riot and the whole prison system would collapse.
Yet speeding fines, parking tickets, TV licencing fines and pouring coffee down a drain fines all seem to be highly efficient well oiled machines.
I mean the pay for prison work is genuinely terrible considering the conditions. Like sub £30k in a lot of cases, for jobs where your life is directly under threat almost every day, you’d be better off working in ASDA. No surprise there’s constant cases of dodgy staff. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys as they say.
Most jobs are no longer engaged or engaging everyone is there just to get their pay.
Part of this is we’ve managed our any responsibility.
If everyone has ticked their box and moved it on it’s no longer their problem.
You actually do not get rewarded for raising your hand and pointing out a mistake you’ve seen ahead of you especially.
Even the best workers can only be as good as the information they receive.
Makes you wonder what kind of system is being used to log everyone in prison and attach relevant case details to them.
Oh go on then; give us another scandal to get scandalised of, spread the fear and doom.
It does get wearing, to the point of total demoralisation…. and I think that’s the point.
Prison service, teaching, defence, police, courts, NHS, everything is on its knees.
But only one of them made headlines all over the media. Wonder why…
Ok, just to ask the question as I feel the need to.
Has this been happening for years but just not been reported until it was a high profile case?
There should really be a study on those prisoners who have been let out by mistake over the last several decades.
Have they gone on to offend again or in effect rehabilitated themselves?
The conclusion might be that the use of prisons (except for those most serious of offences) should be abandoned in this modern age.
Its worth serious thought.
