Batten on Sky

Gerard Batten will be doing a live debate with Lucy Russel of 'Smart Justice' at 14.35 on Sky news. The subject matter will be the early prison release story.

Brief but good piece. Saying what you would expect from the current Government, more exposure like this will do good.

That's a good solid statement, and even offers a UKIP policy solution, something often missing from party statements (although obviously the cost must be considered).

Quote:

"We must commence a serious prison building programme, at once. Anything else is failing our people".

Do we? I can't say that I or anyone I know would be too bothered if they were packed in like sardines. The more unpleasant it is in prison the better as far as I am concerned.

On the other hand, I would also support more innovative systems, such as military-style boot camps to beat some discipline and decency into non-violent offenders, rather than keeping them in prison.

A debate within the party membership would be pleasant change! As with many other issues.

If we controlled our own boarders, we could deport the 12,000 + foreign inmates and have space for free .

Do it anyway - parachutes, where the receiving country is not too keen!
