Wandsworth Prison: ‘an incredibly nasty place to serve a sentence and to work’

Pressure is growing on the Government to tackle a growing crisis in Wandsworth Prison. Filthy, overcrowded and rife with violence - and this week we revealed a sophisticated criminal network of drugs gangs working inside the South London jail.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Prisoners are being left addicts with spiralling debt, their families threatened with violence outside, if they don't pay up. Now a new campaign has been launched to demand the Government improve conditions.
At a packed public meeting last night, former prisoners described it as "lawless", "inhumane" and a place where men were being left to rot - with little chance of rehabilitation.

The penal system particularly harsh It's a high trust society, very low rates of violence, GDP per capita $138,000 per annum. I've experienced our penal system in 1985 ( 7 months ) 23 hrs locked in a cell, no TV, orPlayStation, no toilet in the cell, gym every 10 days, half a hour exercise daily if it doesn't rain, £1 canteen a week, 1 visit a month, Prison doesn't rehabilitate offenders, it isolates them for the good of society. Society will rehabilitate offenders, only if they have something to offer

@@jazztheglass6139 Due to the emphasis on rehabilitation during incarceration rather than on punishment, Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world.

[@debk3901]

And it is stupid people like you and the five others that give a tick a flick that push politicians to make the wrong decisions for reform. What I find particularly ironic is the overused and unoriginal phrase, "If you cannot do the time, don't do the crime." This overlooks the essential fact that prisoners who do not receive the necessary programs and education to transform their lives will repeatedly incur significant costs for you and others in terms of taxes. This cycle is an astonishing oversight in our approach to criminal justice and reform. MENTAL. But you completely failed to address the other issue raised in this story "selective hearing" from the tick and flick group ? is the involvement of some guards in smuggling illegal substances into prisons, which leads to increased violence and extortion. These actions, which allow them to profit illicitly, go largely unchecked. Curiously, the adage "If you cannot do the time, don't do the crime" is seldom, if ever, applied to these guards, pointing to a glaring inconsistency in how we address misconduct within the prison system itself.

[@StStStS]

I don’t think well-balanced people from nice healthy homes very often choose a life of crime just for fun. I think statistics show they didn’t stand much of a chance of joining civilised society: there’s a high proportion of young people who were abused as children or had undiagnosed problems. We are talking about actual lack of food and hygiene at Wandsworth; two men to a cell with a toilet not even behind a curtain, pigeons inside, sewage sometimes coming up, one hour out of the cell each day when you would have the choice between goi outside, making a phonecall home OR queuing for a shower. And I think I am right in saying that Wandsworth is also a holding place; ie some of the inmates have not even been convicted! We are not talking about our worst murderers and people who would never reform or get out. I believe the prisoners are entitled to basic safety, shelter and hygiene. The stories coming out of here are awful; one woman was on the phone to her son and he had an asthma attack. The emergency help buzzer in his cell was not working. You know, if we want to bring back the death sentence, we ought to do it legally, not like this. I like that the people of Wandsworth want to look out for the prisoners. They should do their time and leave in a reasonable state of health ready to join society. If they have come from awful backgrounds, how is treating them with more brutality going to fix them?

"Wow! Deep answer," but wouldn't you agree, overly simplistic? This kind of advice doesn't take into account the complexities of why people commit crimes or the systemic issues within the criminal justice system. It overlooks various factors like socioeconomic status, mental health, education, and environmental influences, which can all play significant roles in one's likelihood to engage in illegal activities. Simply stating "don't break the law" fails to address these underlying issues and doesn't contribute to a meaningful conversation about prevention, rehabilitation, or the broader context of criminal behavior. And at the end of the day if reform does not take place via counselling, drug therapy and educational or retraining programs it will continue costing you the taxpayer forever!

why not build modern prisons?

[@user-bh8xy3ye6j]

It's a nick. I've done time in civvy jail and military bird. It's punishment. Simple. Im still addicted to opioids and if i didn't get them in the nick id have got them outside. Some of the housing in the UK is far worse than prison. Get on with it. You are being punished and do your time.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, prison conditions are far too good as it is, where was these criminals respect for their victims?
