If you commit a crime in full knowledge and understanding of what you are doing is illegal and wrong then you lose your liberties.

Not barbaric. If they threatened or hurt innocent people in their homes I don't see any harshness.

This is a progressives viagra pill, good luck getting any type of balanced contribution, which is a shame as it does require a rethink.

Secondly, I hear they have run out of jail space in Scotland, what is going on up there?

Indeed. It actually doesn't make them much better than the offenders. One group have caused injury to others. The other desires to cause injury. Both are of grave concern.

Rehabilitation is about teaching right from wrong ,so more rehabilitation and less being locked up for 23hrs

Here we go again, however it’s really nowhere near as straightforward as the headlines - how do you educate someone who requires detox or has long standing mental health issues? How do you rehabilitate someone who has no desire, need or inclination to engage? What would your plan be for managing a prisoner who’s sole aim when in jail is to cause as much disruption as possible? For any prisoner serving a significant sentence the opportunities are endless…and the support is there providing there is a desire to engage and behave.

Undoubtedly some spend 23 hours a day in their cell and sure more staff would allow for more to be done… but so would longer sentences. Locked and left to rot is a lazy, inaccurate headline.

Rehabilitation and hopefully for those that engage reform will follow that does work for some but not all, however it costs a lot more than we as a nation are happy to pay..

A percentage of the justice system is run on by companies who have to return a profit, maybe take them back in house..

We seem as a society to be happy with high levels of crime and a system that churns out a much lower number of ex criminals upon release..

Bizarre..

The best form of rehabilitation is that which reforms and is evidence based, reducing re-offending. If we're to spend £millions on prison, it needs to benefit society more than just having people caged up in rooms.

I look at this as : what's the societal benefits of harsh punishment.

1) it acts as a deterrent. Imo, marginal gains here at the extreme end even if we accept that jail is a deterrent for those more inclined to commit crimes.

2) it acts to prevent reoffending. Maybe once someone has experienced jail they will think twice. I can buy this one more... But also feel it's not the best way of achieving this.

3) society feels better. This may be because of the revenge factor. Or it convinced itself it's trying to combat crime because it's super strict.

1 and 2 are routes to the ultimate aim of reducing crime. Which I suspect we can all agree is a good outcome.

3 is more about feelings. Shouldn't be completely discounted but imo a lower consideration than actually lowering crime.

I then question of harsh punishments are the best way of reducing crime. If it doesn't act as a deterrent and doesn't reduce reoffending then are there better solutions. If 22 hours locked up isn't much less of a deterrent than 23, then could we look to use the 1 hour for rehab. Or training. Or even therapy.

Ofc, one may question the cost here. And should funds be directed so. But that may loop back to societal benefit.

Prisons are chronically understaffed, the conditions are unsuitable for effective rehabilitation (especially some of the Victorian era prisons). We also fail to provide adequate support on the outside for recently release prisoners. The whole system is failing.

while I don't think the government should be pushing below min wage jobs... Could this be a way of doing something on min wage. Asylum seekers can only work for local councils say ....

There's probably a "stealing our jobs thing" or "councils should pay proper wages to pick up litter" but it's an approach...

Regardless, community service can be in addition to (even if you take away the fine). A suspended sentence is custodial, community service isn't.

All of those, and I remember the bad lads army series 20 years ago where groups where sent to a military training camp, without exception the training staff and rsm turned them all around in a few weeks. Made them work together as a unit, many did really well a couple even joined up afterwards.

Why do you feel the need to speak for everyone when it’s clear you have no knowledge in this area? "

I mean sure, people are welcome to think that 23 hours a day lockup is an effective form of rehabilitation, but it does require them to ignore actual data on the subject.

You’re looking at it all wrong, from a let’s save everyone perfect situation. I’ve already told you that 23 hours in a cell is a lazy inaccurate headline. Only a small majority does this figure apply to.

Please tell me how you plan on rehabilitating someone for whom jail is a badge of honour or a place to hang out with their mates and cause more havoc? Or someone with years or addiction and / or mental health issues?

As I have previously said, there is some amazing work that goes on in prisons but it goes unrecognised. Lazy headlines do not help. Some prisoners are only fit for being locked up, others willing to engage have endless opportunities

"Not getting any more than an hour out of their cell ... learn the lesson! Best form of rehabilitation in my opinion

Bring back borstal for young offenders, at least they would learn a trade like carpentry they may build a glider for escape.

you can learn a trade in young offenders if you want and its part of your rehabilitation"

Wil be lucky to find anyone capable of teaching these skills nowadays.

There is a whole generation of teachers now whose only practical abilities stem from 'Blue Peter' type C D and T.

And you’re using anecdotal ‘evidence’ against actual data.

Can everyone be saved? No, they can’t. Does that mean that rehabilitation doesn’t work and shouldn’t be attempted?

And 23 hours lockup is becoming more common - again, backed up by data. This is due to staffing/funding problems. All well documented.

I’ve looked at quite a lot of data on this over the past couple of years when I saw it pop up on social media.

The correlation between rehabilitation and non-reoffending is impossible to deny. As is the reverse.

Of course rehabilitation won’t work for all, but I’ve never claimed it would. However it will work for far more if we actually attempt it properly (as well as utilising schemes for ex-cons (and social schemes to prevent people falling into crim to begin with).

I’ve not changed the narrative at all, my posts are all there to be seen - it’s clear now that you’ve simply misunderstood what I said

I disagreed because the reality is that not that many prisoners are locked up 23 hours a day. The majority that are deserve to be (I am aware that some slip through the net).

Tell me how you want to attempt it ‘properly’. Tell me how trying to deliver your programme to the masses will impact on those who are compliant and engaged in their rehabilitation. Tell me how you rehabilitate someone who has no need or desire to be rehabilitated…

"Not getting any more than an hour out of their cell ... learn the lesson! Best form of rehabilitation in my opinion "

I prefer other ideas like having them spend the day helping the council get the streets clean or even helping farmers in the fields. In addition it would be good if each prison had its own little business making things for sale or restoring items for sale. That said, those that refuse to be rehabilitated or have been through the rehabilitation system but still constantly go back to crime, then being locked up all day maybe a valid option

If you have someone who refuses to take part in any type of rehabilitation do they end up being locked for longer periods? I would imagine they would be the more disruptive of an already disruptive and volatile group.

Well in my world, prisons have used some form of rehabilitation alongside punishment since the 18th/19th century. How about yours?

In my world if you do the crime, you do the time and make it so unpleasant that won't do it again. "

"Any work schemes, community service, education/rehabilitation are all better options than simply looking someone up for 23 hours a day, I’m sure we’d all agree.

Why do you feel the need to speak for everyone when it’s clear you have no knowledge in this area?

I mean sure, people are welcome to think that 23 hours a day lockup is an effective form of rehabilitation, but it does require them to ignore actual data on the subject.

And you’re using anecdotal ‘evidence’ against actual data.

Can everyone be saved? No, they can’t. Does that mean that rehabilitation doesn’t work and shouldn’t be attempted?

And 23 hours lockup is becoming more common - again, backed up by data. This is due to staffing/funding problems. All well documented.

How do you know what evidence I’m using? You’re talking about a few Victorian jails that probably aren’t fit for purpose. There are 120 prisons of which these are only a few

I’ve looked at quite a lot of data on this over the past couple of years when I saw it pop up on social media.

The correlation between rehabilitation and non-reoffending is impossible to deny. As is the reverse.

You know how you know 'all things rail', I get the feeling Nik knows more than you about prisons

"
what gives you that feeling?

Ah, I see. You didn’t read the bit where I said:

‘Can everyone be saved? No, they can’t. Does that mean that rehabilitation doesn’t work and shouldn’t be attempted?”

I’ve not changed the narrative at all, my posts are all there to be seen - it’s clear now that you’ve simply misunderstood what I said

I disagreed because the reality is that not that many prisoners are locked up 23 hours a day. The majority that are deserve to be (I am aware that some slip through the net).

"Dont want to sit in a cell 23hrs a day, dont commit a crime that leads to prison, not rocket science is it

So you dont think offenders should be rehabilitated?

How do you try and prevent the offence being committed in the first place?

Which is easier rehabilitate or prevent?"

-----------

It should be a combination of both but the challenge with prevention is proving effectiveness as we don't know who would have gone on to offend in the future.

"I'm a spare the rod spoil the child type, you're clearly not "

My parents followed this philosophy.

Apparently it means "If children are not physically punished when they do wrong their personal development will suffer."

I can only speak from my own experience, but my personal development suffered anyway because I was physically punished.

I developed a deep loathing for my parents, and neither have been forgiven.

My father passed some years ago. He remarried. I decided after my parents divorced not to maintain contact with a child-beater. We did not speak for 40 years. I saw him a year before he died., then he was gone. I have no regret at all, not one bit. He chose to physically punish and that choice came with consequences.

Spare the rod and spoil the child indeed.

It's a very well known phrase, and nowadays it just means that a lack of punishment will harm development. It no longer means physical punishment.

We have adequate data from other nations that rehabilitation works, but it’s not cheap, and it doesn’t end when you leave prison.

Money isn't something which we lack. We currently spend around £50k/annum per prisoner. Resources will always be lacking until the willpower is there.

You can't rehabilitate criminals and then expect to release them back into the same environment that turned them to criminality in the first place.

Fix the reasons why crime takes place and then rehabilitation has a chance, until then it doesn't,

Because the government has a mandate to lock up criminals and keep them away from the rest of us.

That's what the electorate want, in the UK prison is seen as a punishment, not a place of reform. So in that sense prison does its job and is working.

Rehabilitation inside prison is just given lip service, it's not delivered in any great way. They been trying this for a couple of hundred years and they cannot find a system that works,

According to research, For cases getting high-quality probation supervision, the sentence completion rate was 24 percentage points higher, and the reoffending rate was 14 percentage points lower than for cases where supervision was judged to be inadequate by our inspectors.

I didn't say it was succeeding, I was suggesting that the Govt do offer support by the way of the probation service. Whether that support is any good or not is another debate.

It's not in the government's interest to rehabilitate.

Tough on crime, tough on the reasons for crime is quoted at each election, because its a vote winner. Prison is seen as a punishment. It seems to be what the voters want.

If they were serious about being tough on the reasons for crime they'd invest in houses, employment with decent wages, education, create decent communities with opportunities for advancement for people who live there, maybe even go as far as to legalise things like drugs and prostitution. That might cut crime and raise tax revenues.

Rehabilitation is not a priority,

So we should do away with the probation service? And not offer any, say, fast food to the homeless?

I think the funds used currently on systems the government know are failing should be put into fixing societal problems for the poorest demographic in the country.

By taking away the need to commit crime would have a much greater effect on the prison population than I'll thought through schemes that are obviously not working.

Rehabilitation is an individualistic process, and unless there is an individual tailored programme it is on to a lower before it begins.

Fixing the reasons people turn to crime is a much more effective policy. But like I said, 'Tough on Crime' is a vote winner and that's what the voters seem to want.

I'm not saying that's what I want or believe, it's just how it is right now. It needs a change of mindset before it will get better,

Hubby worked for the Prison Service from the 80's to the 00's, through the grades from officer to Governor grade. He worked in several prisons from the worst cat A Dispersals, to local jails, specialised sex offender units at cat C jails and one of the worst YOI's.

He has seen first hand, the problems with rehabilitation in the penal system. His disappointment surrounding what little difference rehabilitation made on inmates lives was one of the reasons he decided to quit,

I'd like to hear more. In his opinion, does rehabilitation fail because it is not well enough supported, because the philosophy is wrong, or because the offenders just can't be rehabilitated?

Think he believes it's a mixture of all three.

There's not enough money put into the prison system to operate it just as a place of incarceration, let alone as a place for rehabilitation.

The philosophy regarding the penal system in the UK is one of punishment. Like I've mentioned before it's a vote winner, so there's really not much political will towards rehabilitation.

As for prisoners wanting to engage in rehabilitation he found that running programmes that were generic to a certain crime and class of inmate was ineffective.

Take theft, which is quite a common offence. There will be thousands incarcerated for this at any one time, yet even though they have committed the same crime they may have had different motivations for doing so. You have to rehabilitate the individual, not the crime. Therefore a scatter gun approach will not work, you need an individual approach and that's not going to work.

There are all sorts of other reasons rehabilitation won't work. Lack of engagement, nature of crimes committed, type of crime and lots more.

Some can become a danger to society in an instant and then instantly return to never being a threat again, others will always be extremely dangerous and there's a whole spectrum in between.

How do you rehabilitate crimes of ideology or desire? He hated the fact that he was helping to run a system that locked up people that should never be jailed in the first place.

That's why he believes there needs to be a societal change. Fix the reasons to prevent criminality starting in the first place. Those crimes of economics, deprevation, addiction.

It's not going to work for everyone but it should help,

I agree wholeheartedly with you, there will always be people who commit crimes but not all are bad, some most definitely are, but not all.

There are loads of crimes that are committed that can never be accounted for, crimes of passion being one area.

When I say take away the need for crime, I could have worded that better. I mean if you legalised drugs that would possibly take away the need to commit crime to fund a habit. Now I know this won't stop all the crime here but it would definitely help. If history has taught us anything prohibition feeds criminality.

Economic crimes like theft could be reduced if people are given a decent, living wage thereby reducing the need to turn to theft in the first place.

Change the system, invest in housing, and communities, give people opportunities and hope that there is a way forward.

Prisons are full of poor, ill educated, poorly housed individuals that feel disenfranchised by our current system.

Helping them with their lives outside of prison would have a massive effect. Otherwise anything else is bolting the gate after the horse has bolted,

re-offending, its not a success at just one person.

So you are ok with millions spent for a result of just one!

We have vastly different opinions on success.

Wouldn't you want that money spent on making prisons safer for inmates and your colleagues? Wouldn't you want your taxes spent on schemes to improve the life chances for poorer communities to ensure there are more opportunities and hope for this section of society before they turn to crime? Schemes that would benefit prisons, reduce actual prison populations and benefiting society as a whole, including the 99.98% of society that will never go to jail.

Or do you think that this current scheme of failed attempts at rehabilitation is a success if it saves just one person.

Surely prevention is better than the cure, not that it should be called a cure at the rates it actually helps inmates now.

I'm not saying it doesn't work for some individuals, it may do. But the recidivism rates indicate its not effective for the cost and effort it requires.

Can you point to a specific rehabilitation programme that's shown to be successful?

Mrs x you say not yet some of the ones i know have been out over 10 yrs or more and now have jobs and familes of their own,the rehab i seen working was how to manage anger management,having dialoge with victims and apoligizing which in my exp was the hardest thing to do,and giving them something to work towards be that a trade or college course As I said it may work for certain individuals but not in the numbers to suggest it's a success.

If it did reopening rates wouldn't be as high as they are. This is an objective fact.

Mrs xwhats reopening times? My point is that rehab does work and if if keeps even just one person out of prison then its a success in my opinion re-offending, its not a success at just one person.

So you are ok with millions spent for a result of just one!

We have vastly different opinions on success.

Or do you think that this current scheme of failed attempts at rehabilitation is a success if it saves just one person.

Surely prevention is better than the cure, not that it should be called a cure at the rates it actually helps inmates now.

"We have adequate data from other nations that rehabilitation works, but it’s not cheap, and it doesn’t end when you leave prison.

What we lack is money, resources and willpower.You can't rehabilitate criminals and then expect to release them back into the same environment that turned them to criminality in the first place.

Fix the reasons why crime takes place and then rehabilitation has a chance, until then it doesn't,

Mrs x

That’s literally why I said rehabilitation doesn’t end when you leave prison.So what grand scheme is there for rehabilitation on the outside?,

I just don't see how that will help with rehabilitation and therefore would have no real effect on reoffending rates, Mrs x

I see it as a possible cure for re offending, second helpings of hard Labour I can't see people preferring that over 23hrs sitting about stewing.

Big money for who, maybe the handful of private prisons but HMP prisons are a drain on the economy,

Can't you?

I can see lots of people choosing hard labour. It gets you outside, it's a good core workout, it means you can avoid the muscle marys at the gym, you'd get extra food, you'd end your term fitter than you've ever been, etc.
