British Prison Smoking Ban Riot Fears As 'Stability' Concerns Overshadow Health Implications
First topic message reminder :
Authorities in Australia thought they were "very ready" for a smoking ban to kick-in at a remand prison in the state of Victoria on July 1.
The ban came with 18-months notice and the government had worked with anti-smoking group Quit Victoria to tailor programs specifically for inmates. And it appeared to be working. On June 30, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that just 10 percent of inmates would be going cold turkey when the ban came into force the following day. Previously, it was thought that 85 percent of them smoked, so if nothing else, before the ban even came into effect, authorities had cut smoking-rates by 75 percent. But that very day inmates at Ravenhall Prison chose a fitting way to let politicians in the nation's capital, Canberra, some 660km (410miles) away, know what they really thought of the ban - they sent a smoke signal. -Plumes of black smoke could be seen billowing from the correctional facility around midday, after fires were lit in cells, and outdoor wheelie bins were set ablaze. Two further fires were lit at the nearby Port Phillip Prison.

Very interesting article with lots to read.
Smoking is most definately a privilege for a prisoner and I am stunned they are still allowed to smoke inside their cells.
Like everyone else throughout the UK there should be smoking areas outside for them. That would be the best compremise, but am stunned they have smoking privileges over law abiding citizens.

If the smoking in their cells is affecting staff then why shouldn't it be abolished?
The same laws should be applied to prisons as it is to any public place.
So what if they riot? Should there be a backdown 'just in case they riot'?
Under the law people are sent to prison AS a punishment Not to be punished.
As you know I'm not on the side of the perps but all this would do is put the lives of PCOs at risk. Something like this would cost a fortune to implement.

Yes I can see that, and I can see the problem that it could, and undoubtedly would, cause the prison wardens.
But I still think that a prison should be treated like a public place and smoking should be kept for outside and a small part of the communal area perhaps.

Don't get me wrong I agree but there is not the capacity in the system, it's a meaningless sound bite

I expected nothing more idiotic in your reply where you basically condemn people for life for their mistkes and that you clearly think people can not be brought back into civillian life. They are just scum to you. Well at least we see yoiur true colours.
You decide also I am not ashmed about my past, which shows you have no clue and are just the brainless skank I have always thought you were. At least now I know not to bother treating such scum with any respect anymore after your views here.
The fact you think some idiotic daft prick like you has any valid views when they are inherantly racist and xenophobic through your fears of people coming to live here is hilarious, you are just too gutless to admit you are a nasty little viper eh Nems
So I had a past, big deal, if you think youi can hold that against me or that my views do not matter, it just further proves you are the idiot I have always taken you for.

Nah not biting
I spend my life dealing with people traumatised by violence racism and hatred.
Look at your post to me. You are still a mindless thug. Prison taught you nothing.
What's bred in the flesh will out in the bone as they say.
Very poor form for you to be so judgemental of others. You want to look to your own behaviour.

Yes you are boring and to claim you help victims is nothing short of a lie because you have utterly no empathy as seen how you cast someone who did something in their youth as still a thug. It proves your claims are nothing short of babble. You just held me responsible still to a crime many years ago when I was young and naive. That proves it is personal and that its more about your hate of me, that is pathetic here.
To me you are nothing but a racist xenophobic idiot who choses to help people based on georgraphy.
A person who argues against allowing people in the country does not have the best interest of people who need help at heart, otherwise they would not argue against it. So for you to even claim that you care is selctive and based on raical reasoning.
To be honest I am not concerned that a person like yourself who has the immaturity of child thinks.
You may want to look at why you are so bitter at everything. I suggest this stems from your failed relationship or marriage but its time you moved on in life instead of holding such poor resentment.
You just did bite. You were never that bright Nems just a sheep to others.
Baaaa.

Of course people who commit crimes should suffer a punishment for their crimes!!!
What the fuck are you talking about!!!???
Our current system doesn't give out enough punishment to criminals... instead we have a system where large numbers of hardcore repeat offenders continue to avoid prison with the softly softly approach... even avoiding being fined as it is deemed that they will not only be unable to afford to pay it but that this might drive them to commit more crime to BE able to pay fines!!!
Plus so many criminals are already given so many chances to 'learn from their mistakes' by this softly softly approach, cautions given out for multiple offences and even serious offences!!!
Then if they finally arrive at a position of prison sentencing... firstly the prisons are now like holiday camps... secondly they only get a short sentence and THEN only have to do half or even less of it... out on tag after a third of sentence being served!!!

No actually Tommy, what didge meant was; people who have committed crimes and paid for them, can reform so therefore should not have to always suffer.
Are you of the impression then, that people can't reform?
I think when it comes to "lighter" crimes (and I don't mean to dismiss any crimes as less than serious) then people can absolutely learn from them and reform!

Re: British Prison Smoking Ban Riot Fears As 'Stability' Concerns Overshadow Health Implications
Of course I believe that people can reform or change... but with the current system which is so light on so many offenders, there is more of an incentive to just carry on offending.
Only very serious offenders of very serious crimes will immediately go to prison when convicted, a prison that IS now very much like a holiday camp/social club these days...
When there are others committing multiple crimes and continually getting either a caution or appearing multiple times at court only to be let off with a small fine, conditional discharge or community service etc..
And of course peoples criminal history will have an effect on certain aspects of their lives thereafter... have you heard of CRB checking...?
You wouldn't want a thief or fraudster working in a bank for example... or a sex offender working in A school etc... where do you draw the line between that being a continued punishment or a protective measure for general public!?

It all depends upon the crime really Tommy, how serious it was and how long ago relevant to the situation.

Re: British Prison Smoking Ban Riot Fears As 'Stability' Concerns Overshadow Health Implications
Exactly Eddie, and in regards to criminal history affecting people after having served punishment/prison etc, it already happens... my examples above are real examples of how this works... also on lower level crimes it happens too... other examples are found for people who are caught doing driving offences, they may get a fine plus points or even a ban, but after paying fine and serving ban period, their costs of insurance will be higher after declaring conviction/points/ban etc... also a shoplifter may still be banned from certain shops or even areas after being convicted and serving sentence etc...
There are loads of jobs where you wouldn't be allowed to do because of criminal history...
People will also face problems of entry to other countries because of criminal past... regardless of any claim to be reformed or not!
Where do you draw the line?
Is it about continued punishment of criminals or about having sensible safeguards?

Re: British Prison Smoking Ban Riot Fears As 'Stability' Concerns Overshadow Health Implications
Well it's certainly not always about continued punishment of criminals.
I don't think that having been caught shoplifting when you were 16 would have any bearing, after having a clean record after the crime, on getting a job five or ten years later, for example.
Violent crimes are harder to judge and sexual crimes committed are very shaky indeed.

Anyone who have been violent in the past and displays abusive behaviour regularly is very suspect and I'd judge them totally untrustworthy. Someone who was violent but has turned themselves around and is never aggressive or abusive deserves a chance, but one step out of line and that would it the end of it. Would never trust anyone who had committed a sexual crime, no way, ever.

Your example is of A juvenile who would have probably only got a stern warning or caution, and record would have been rubbed anyway once over18 as far as majority of general life is concerned.

Some good points there Tommy. If someone who has been to prison cannot get a job afterwards for the reasons you mentioned, it's either because they have not been forgiven by society, or because employers don't believe they have been rehabilitated and may well commit the same crime.

Re: British Prison Smoking Ban Riot Fears As 'Stability' Concerns Overshadow Health Implications
Never seen so much hypocrisy in all my life. Criminal acts is what is defined by a state, which can vary per country. Some people will even turn a blind eye to murder dependent on who the victim is. None though spare a thought for the views they express which may lead to sway others. This is even more so if people hold extreme views against groups of people. For example we see this with hate expressed towards Israel, who are the victims? Jews attacked. The same happens when the rhetoric is aimed at a group like Muslims and then Muslims then end up being attacked. Views of extremism sway people and when the hate is directed at a nation or people then that is a crime itself as hate leads to violence., Some here express the worst racist and homophobic views and care little of those consequences of their actions. Many are guilty of crimes, they just happen to get away with this, because the problem is associating that this person did have an effect, where they abused their free speech to promote hate. This is why I make a point of directing my points against a political body or ideology that effects the well being and equality of others. for example Hamas or Wahhabism.
It just makes me laugh how some sit here all judgmental and fail to see the adverse effect their preaching of hate has onto others. The fact is many are remorseful of their crimes, myself included and we have to live that inside us all our lives, so we pay this not only with punishment but with the scar of that crime within us . to then has some still stigmatize you once free back in society. Normally;y those who hold these views are the ones that express hate against other groups with no thought or care of the consequences. They tend to be the worst hypocrites going.
