What to do with the newly released nut-case who murdered numerous people in a shopping centre, the wack-job released six months ago who shot dead three kids in McDonalds while out celebrating a youngsters birthday, or on hearing about the detaining of the guy found not guilty a year ago because the nut house was full, and is now detained for the so-called serial axe killings of young ladies in Windsor, the plain facts are that there are out of their skulls, off the charts lunatics who for some reason still living among us every day, until I get to power that is, only joking.
One of the greatest mysteries in life is the question one tends to ask mentally when we wonder what he or she was thinking. Sometimes little acts of thoughtfulness or kind-heartedness make me wonder, though a threat is often felt instantly.
Think how scores of brutally murdered girlfriends and wives have told their close ones and friends my husband is going to off me some sunny day? How many babies are killed by mothers that just snap because their insane? The Old Bill told me in school that your odds of being murdered or raped by someone you know is much greater than being put six feet deep or molested by a stranger.
Our Nut Houses and the Prisons are filled with nutters or convicts who just don’t give a crap, who have a seriously fragile grip on reality and or regard the laws of the nation that we normal people tend to obey to be an obstacle to their criminal or mental ambitions.
If those lunatics are hearing voices in their crazy heads or just giving in to their own uncontrolled needs, they are a threat to me, you and everyone. But we seldom know it until we are confronted by one of these nut jobs, but then it’s often too late.
Special hospitals, asylums and care facilities for the criminally insane - cost; 30 million a year of our hard earned money don’t you think it would be better to just, once found and convicted be taken out back shot at the cost of a bullet which is on the prisoners expense, or billed to his family if he has no small change on him at the crucial time. Then the body can be used for medical science or if just too crazy even for that then cremated.
Here are some facts; many prisoners have mental health problems. 72% of male and 70% of female sentenced prisoners suffer from two or more mental health disorders. Twenty per of prisoners have four of the five major mental health disorders.
Neurotic and personality disorders are particularly prevalent - 40% of male and 63% of female sentenced prisoners have a neurotic disorder, over three times the level in the general population. 64% of male and 50% of female sentenced prisoners have a personality disorder.
According to the NHS plan, around 5,000 prisoners at the time, between 5-8%, have severe and enduring mental illnesses. The plan also said that, by 2004, “all people with severe mental illness will be in receipt of treatment, and no prisoner with serious mental illness will leave prison without a care plan and a care coordinator.”
A significant number of prisoners suffer from a psychotic disorder. 7% of male and 14% of female sentenced prisoners have a psychotic disorder; 14 and 23 times the level in the general population.
10% of men and 30% of women have had previous psychiatric admission before they come into prison.
A fifth of Scottish prisoners reported that they had been put on ACT (Scottish Prison Service Suicide Risk Management Process) and 38% of prisoners indicated that they had experienced mental health problems.
The human rights commission - cost 100million a year there job the commission claims, is to promote equality and human rights, and to create a fairer Britain. And they will do this by providing advice and guidance, working to implement an effective legislative framework and raising awareness of your rights. Whatever, look around you people; the commission must think we were all born yesterday. Do you really feel you have equal rights in the United Kingdom? It seems to me that refugees get better rights within the UK that British citizens, hostile Muslims get arrested only to be released an hour later because of politically correct leftist pressure. "Exalt the citizen. As the State is the unit of government he is the unit of the State. Teach him that his home is his castle, and his sovereignty rests beneath his hat." I think we should repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a constitutional British Bill of Rights that clearly enshrines the rights, liberties and responsibilities of the British people. The money saved could be used to build positive eugenic research laboratories to insure strong healthy disease free future citizens, advance medical research etc. The people who run the human rights commission should be imprisoned for treason against the people of Britain.
So how much money would it cost to keep one of them or someone in prison in the UK for a year? it costs nearly 500 pounds per month The cost to the exchequer in running the Prison Service in the United Kingdom is estimated to be in excess of 2 billion a year. In 1993, the UK prison population was 44,000. Today it is over 83,000. This trend is set to continue: the government has recently announced an extra £3.8bn to create 20,000 more prison places.
In the UK it is estimated that each new prison place costs £119,000 and that the annual average cost for each prisoner exceeds £40,000. Such huge public expenditure should not be spent without question. But where value for money models are widely applied in other state services like healthcare, they have rarely been used to test the value of the criminal justice sector.
Incarceration in reality does not reduce re-offending, but the cost of the prison system still has to justify it´s expenditure. Is the cost of running our prisons too high in the UK? Could alternatives provide better value for our money?
These are the questions I have sought to address in this short article. After a little research, I looked at the alternatives to prison. And as a result my alternatives to prison seem to deliver a better return on public money, your money.
Residential public beating programmes, your choice of bat provided for example, offer a £200,000 net benefit over prison over the short lifetime of beaten offender. This is because bat treatment programmes are cheaper to run than the prison systems and because it will deliver a very low re-offending rate, my conservative estimate is 0.1%. Similarly, using stones or drift wood instead of government issued bats could save £125,000 per convict. maitainence of convicted paedophiles and murderers - cost 2 million a year, we could reduce this by handing them over to an angry mob for free and let them hang them all off a lamp posts/shoot them/ or simply throw them off the white cliffs of Dover, or use them as military target practice ect ect.
Some politically correct S.O.B may say that this research is right will and these methods will not save money in the long run, however our research suggests not, it seemed to work for the Romans. Once you crunch the numbers, investing more in these punitive measures actually delivers increased savings in the long run. Because of associated reductions in re-offending rates, prisons which include hard labour programmes save society £50,000 for each inmate whilst prisons which don’t attempt to treat drug addicted inmates saves £125,000.
The debate for and against prisons has historically focused on the moral, political and social arguments for sentencing. But public money is scarce; we need to make sure that the benefits of our prisons outweigh their costs. Whatever penal policy we decide to pursue, ignoring the economic dimension to this argument is something we can no longer afford to do.
Of all those sentenced to custody in the second quarter of 2005, one in five was from a minority ethnic group. 35 per cent of minority ethnic prisoners are foreign nationals. At 58 per cent, black prisoners account for the largest number of minority ethnic prisoners and their numbers are rising - whereas the prison population grew by just over 12 per cent between 1999 and 2002, the number of black prisoners increased by 51 per cent. England and Wales has the highest number of life sentenced prisoners in Europe - it has more than Germany, France, Italy and Turkey combined. The number sentenced to life imprisonment each year has almost doubled over the past ten years. At the end of June 2008, 89 prisons, 64% of the estate, were overcrowded. Overcrowding threatens prison safety and can lead to prisoners being held in inhuman, degrading and unsafe conditions.
So on conclusion I would like to add this paper is not entirely true and the policies discussed within are not policies I would imagine anybody would realistically like to implement, well maybe some of them. But I would like to draw your attention to our present government’s expenditure in various areas which is paid for by our money its only food for thought, its time to make a stand. We really need to start to practice what we all know to be true, Crime should not pay and do you really feel safe out in public with nutters everywhere, be honest to yourself do you really feel safe out there?
