Fast forward to 2024 and the government is considering the idea!

STOP VIOLENT CRIME. EXPORT IT
Dear Dame
I have just returned from Bulgaria.
Bulgarian prisons are empty( one assumes their criminals are in the UK)
Violent crime in our cities is now of such a magnitude that we should consider this stratagem.
We agree with the governments of Poland, Bulgaria and Romania they accept UK prisoners convicted of violent crime.
Our prisoners are sent to serve their sentences in prisons in those countries sited close to Ryanair/Easyjet destinations so that prisoner’s families are able to visit. We charter Ryanair planes to transport prisoners.
Currently, it costs the UK government £50,000 a year to house a prisoner.
In Eastern European countries the annual cost is £1500/2000...so what are the benefits?
1. We export our violent prisoners to friendly neighbouring countries
2. Provide those countries with a boost to their economies
3. Suspend our prison building and renovation programme saving hundreds of millions
4. Stop violent crime overnight
5. Give our violent convicts the opportunity to quickly learn a new language under the tutelage of a friendly Balkan warder.
Just an idea, dear Dame
Yours faithfully,
XXXXXX
I think you mean 2024

ReplyDeleteThose who go to prison for their part in the Grenfell Tower fire could languish in a lovely prison in Romania: one that was used under the Ceaușescu regime.
ReplyDeleteThis type of prison would be too good for the many Friends of the TMO, the tenants who collaborated with the enemy from 1996 to 2017 and let fellow tenants suffer.
Relatives of those imprisoned should pay their own fares to visit their crim loved ones over there - just like they do when visiting crims inside over here.
Those relatives on the Social, and there will be plenty of them, will be issued with a travel warrant to go over there courtesy of Ryan Air - not too dear and will have to pay for their inflight refreshments.
