Home Office plans floating jails
HMP Weare, off the Dorset coast, closed last year. The government has advertised for contractors to provide up to 800 places on ships.
Prison charities said the ships would not meet inmates' needs and Mr Reid would be to blame for people coming out of jail and committing more crimes.
IMO: I will not bring out the usual boring statistics but UK has a lot of people in prison, as does USA. More than one would expect at their alleged level of civilisation. I could probably think of things to do but is there any gain from doing so ? With any likely Govt. in either country, I do not think so.
