The Future of British Prisons

A radical reform of the British prison system is needed. The following important changes must be made immediately, and it is likely that only a nationalist government would have the capacity to undertake such a visionary reform.

For the most serious offenders, including paedophiles and murderers who have committed crimes so repugnant that the common man deems them 'less than human', and where the evidence is indisputable, the only option would be execution - preferably public and by the rope to keep the British people satisfied and the costs minimal.

For all but the most minor offences, a new two-tier approach to the prison system is required.

Upon conviction, a prisoner is detained in a new purpose built Stage 1 Prison. At this prison the aim is to break the inmate, using hard physical work and excercise, with no concessions for personal wants and needs other than food, water and healthcare. A typical day would start at 04:00hrs where the prisoner would be hosed with ice cold water and forced to carry a heavy log over his shoulders around an outdoor parade ground by wardens who were trained by the military. Three square meals would be provided and in between meals, further hard physical punishment would be continued until the evening, where each inmate would retire to a single cell before the next day continued just like the last.

In due course, once the inmate was deemed 'broken', he would be shipped to a Stage 2 Prison.

Here, the broken prisoner would be built back up and reformed by way of training, confidence building and self-discipline with a view to being released as a productive member of society. Set backs and failure or lack of self-discipline would see the inmate returned to the Stage 1 facility.

Once this two stage re-habilitation was complete, the inmate would have a maximum of three options:

1. Community Chain Gang work for 'x' amount of months including progress reports.

2. Military Service with the possibility of a full, honourable discharge after 'x' amount of years.

3. A return to civillian work and family life, should this option be deemed suitable by parole staff, and depending upon the seriousness of the original crime committed.
