tiling courses in prison

[faithhealer]

More food for thought
A mate of mine teaches plastering at a local borstal. He can't work anymore because his elbows are shot, would rather work than teach but it's a job!
(Very good at it too though!)

albeit prison is there for people who are considered to dangerous for normal society,i would hope the prison board use some discretion in who they pick to train as certain jobs,i would hope they use common sense here and not re-train someone who has been convicted of some heinous crime and expect them to enter peoples houses and mix with joe public unless they are absolutely sure they can guarentee peoples safety.
the public uproar would be deafening if this was to blow up in there faces!

All my guys and sub contractors have to have a Basic Disclosure (criminal record check) from Disclosure Scotland before I can let them work unsupervised..If they have any criminal offences, Trading Standards decide whether or not they can work unsupervised...

Theres good and bad. An example.

When I was a copper, based in central London, there were a pair of twins who were always in trouble with the law. One of the twins ' green eyes' was an absolute handful, gave me a knock a few times!

We did a job looking at this gang he was involved in, basically street robbers. Green eyes was nicked twice in three weeks and eventually went to court and went down for three years.

I moved on to a new police station. One day I was walking my beat and this van pulled up and out jumped green eyes. Oh C*** I thought, here we go!

Turns out whilst in prison he did a course in plasrering, the van was his work one, he had secured a mortgage on a flat with his girlfriend and little one.

It some times does pay.

just more evidence that the criminals are treated better than the victims,we have an insane society where criminals are ultimately rewarded for bad behaviour and public servants have no accountabilty for incompetance or immoral behaviour

So what do we do? Hang them? Theres no real answer.

In the 18th century, you went to prison for stealing a loaf of bread, today, if your lucky, you get 15 years for murder.

Its basically gone too far, to many do-gooders, sympathy sums it up.

I've stood by rapists, murderers, child abusers etc, and was told to talk and treat them calmly, so as not to upset the course of justice.

The criminal law, and I know , is very complicated, and basically to old, albeit, the government has tried to update it, but has in fact made it even more complex.

I say bring back the FULL B of the P , and sus law.

must be training in tiling now as they have exhausted the double glazing training and everyone in jail now knows how to get through your windows,doors etc...GREAT!

I know someone who has an ex con working for him and he was sitting in the customers house having a cuppa and she asked him what he has been doing jobwise recently...the answer was this..'oh,im just out of prison for murder' :yikes: end of conversation.Im all for people getting a second chance but this post has to many issues imo.Everyione has a different view.
