PRISONS
• Build new public prisons to deal with prison over-crowding.
• Nationalise all private prisons.
• Recruit 3,000 more prison officers.
• Redeploy / retrain DWP / Jobcentre staff as prison officers.
• End public sector pay cap.
• Instead of prison put drug addicts in secure treatment centres and those needing mental health help in fully public and staffed NHS mental health units.
- You cannot be a drug addict and not commit theft or be a prostitute, as you need constant supply of the drugs, which is above even the best waged’s income.
PROBATION
• End Probation Service.
- Redeploy Probation Service staff into community projects.
• Replace Probation Service Funding with community projects to prevent kids joining criminal gangs.
