    I know EXACTLY what I would do with prisons if I had the chance.

    I would double the hardship and halve the sentences for most crimes. There would be no wonderful games rooms, no TV in cells, and certainly no "liberty" to let people get used to being in society. Life would mean life for things like murder, rape, !!!!!philia and the such.

    All prisoners would have to work or study, and there would be no payments for that. There would be no smoking or the suchlike either.

    In the last month of the sentence (there would be no parole) they would be sent to a slightly more open prison, and on release they would have to go to a halfway house where they would still be supervised but would be allowed out during the day. The length of time they spent here would depend on their behaviour and degree of readjustment.

    As for the idea of time off for good behaviour, it would not exist. There would be extra time for bad behaviour.

    This way people might actually decide they didn't like prison and not want to go back.

    I have no idea if the heathens cost us money or not and where would I get that trusted info from if I was that bothered.

    But we are only a small lump of land to start with and I dont/didnt see any benefits to being any smaller for the sake of a few pounds/groats either way.

    The vote is in the past its happened lets move on :beer:

    Morning all :wave:

    Hope you're all ok. Been AWOL for a while as things been manic here. Thanks for asking after me :o
    I swear the birth rate must have rocketed over the past few months. Lots of shifts where there is no time for a break and late finishes. I've been doing a part time course at Uni for work on top of full time hours too :cool:

    Thankfully as of last week I've reduced to part time hours (though somehow I'm still rostered 38hrs+ this week and next :cool:) Plus I handed in my portfolio to Uni last week so that course is completed provided that I pass :)

    I've been trying to make the most of DS2 on my days off as he'll be off to preschool in September :eek: He's not 3 until July so he'll be young for his year and I feel like I missed out on a lot of things with him as a baby when I was having all of my treatment.
    So last week we went to the farm, I took him swimming for the first time and then over the bank holiday we all stayed over in Stratford and went to Warwick Castle.

    I've not had much chance of glitching although I was lucky to see something on HUKD FB about a battery powered quad last week and bagged one of those. Still coupon where I can and do Bzz/Orchard and cashback apps.

    Will pop back through the thread and have a little read of what you've been up to x

    Good morning all, a cloudy one here :(

    Can't believe the amount of flowers I have on my strawberries :eek:

    Going to try out my new toy (a dehydrator) tomorrow, they have cucumbers in Lidl from today for 29p, so tomorrow I am going to dehydrate a cucumber and a banana :D
    Forget the cucumber, (unless you have a good recipe for the hard dry result!) But apples cut into rings and sprinkled with cinnamon...mmmmmmm! Or courgettes tossed in a herb, lemony,dressing yum! Or. pears go like toffee. Oh I have to get mine out again!
    I am not young enough to know everything.
