New Labour have encouraged the disgraceful situation of prisoners having secret mobile phones in prison where they can control their drug deals or other crime activities whilst on the inside. They claim they are doing something about it, but have refused to install mobile phone jammers in any prisons. So the prisoners get all the luxuries of being on the outside on the inside, rent and council tax free. This is New Labour giving prisoners an easy ride, just as they give them satellite televisions and games consoles, luxuries many on the outside cannot afford. Recorded from BBC Breakfast News, 19 February 2010.
You just couldn’t make it up.
i suppose we should bet the body scanners into all the prisons for visitors, get blood and urine samples. why not go the whole hog and microchip everyone already.
Why not check the crooked prison guards?
If murderers,drug dealers and other low life scum were hanged prisons would not have many problems.
There is a really simple way to stop prisoners using mobile phones. Use mobile jamming technology. If there is no signal then the phone is useless and can not be used.
