Prison need, purpose & obligation:
While there remains criminal behaviour of varying types, there remains a need for prison.
Prison has 5 functions:
1. To prevent crime.
2. To protect the public.
3. To be punishment.
4. Justice being delivered.
5. To provide Rehabilitation.
The public deserve a full service. The wayward deserve every chance to make a civil life. The Government should face Responsibility for causation and perpetuation and make a full service structure to cover Confinement [with a reward & loss system for good 'choices'] And provide education, training, readjustments and integration for success in society, so everybody can be a winner.
On Top of Ken Clarke's comments on prisons lack of effectiveness and his advise and desire to reduce prison population and prisons use as a punishment. His argument being that prison does not work.
His comments come ontop and after decades of the neglect of prison reform and No increase or modernization of prison accommodation or capacity. Clarke cannot face the investment or the developement of reforming measures.
One must remember that Clarke is in favor of a borderless Europe and at his core thinking, he is an idealist who is incapable of considering realistic timing and the genuine situational facts that make his ideals a danger to the public and the nation.
The Total No Investment Policy of the past century leaving prison's in an over populated state with a reducing capacity, is a level of negligent myopia only bettered by the dream of a utopia in today’s world with a coming tomorrow.
It is a well know fact that for Years the prison / Judicial system has been working a policy of one in the the front door, one out the back door. In a Country with a grown & growing migrant population challanging the forces of intergration, the sad but blatent need for a prison system to serve both in fuction and capacity will increase proportionally. Like the inmates the criminal element class will notice and respond to a weakness in policing and take full advantage of the lack of prison capacity and the opportunities of further management weakness. The biggest danger is the weakened state loses control of the respect and any remaining fear of the rule of law and The British rule of law will be lost at great expense.
Prison weakness is a great and growing economic threat to Britains Furure. An investment in modern prisons & a modernized system could turn the missing education, combat the counter productive attitudes, some healing and provide better examples and visible opportunities to turn the looming disasters almost fully arround.

Building A Positive Choice Future
Choices Given, Choices Taken, Choice Rewarded
Background: From a book on managing young children:
Children have young, small, narrow and impressionable minds with very short attention spans that if left unchallenged remain short and as they grow they seek immediate gratification / solutions to life’s needs, desires and observed shared objectives.
If you want a child [example] to take a bath, you could [as is learned example trend] Instruct / command order / discipline bully / Shout / push / slap / kick ect. Or Negotiate / bribe OR Just don’t bother, at all.
The book I read utilised the new American [Early 80’s] sales psychology techniques to influence buyers to buy a product.
– Create desire, Justify need, identify and prove product uniqueness & affordability. DESIRE + NEED + USP + PRICE + DISCOUNT + FINANCE = BUYER SALE. On top of these points, along the way to a sale / buy, the sales person can / should observe the interested party / parties and counter any doubt or hesitancy. Countering questions, loading up pressure, creating guilt or obligation to buy.
[A classic example of guilt obligation is a couple buying an engagement ring – The salesperson wants to sell the bigger ring – Paraphrase ‘’She really loves this ring, do you really love her? It is very affordable under our in-house finance scheme and it is a one-time only purchase. This should be / is your ring.’’]
Alternative choice sale: ‘’Just Looking?! A Porsche is not for looking at. It is for driving, for owning like a house. Do you own a house? So You Can afford a Porsche. Is it to be a Boxter or a Cayman? Glitz custom paint or the GTS Engine? 3 years or 5 years? Discount today or new year model prices tomorrow? Monogrammed luggage. Today!
The children’s guide book used an alternative close for a bath ‘’before or after supper?’’ No bath was not a choice. Bath before supper was further sweetened and speeded by the added bonus of ice cream, if bath was chosen first. This is a negotiation but along a rounded pathway being delivered with some of the techniques of Darren Brown.
If children are neglected, not given good examples or given very bad examples, it should be no surprise that they grow up in the world [however small local and limited] of their environment. Add to that generations of inherited repetitive cognitive level without cerebral stimulation / example / teaching and you have a culture that will take a multi-strategy to improve. Or worse, a child grows up with criminality as the example [rarely without violence fuelled with anger and rage] where prison is the replacement for school and the future it grows.
Multi-Strategy:
Benevolent Patriarchal/Matriarchal Government for rounded wholesome productive citizens:
Diminishing exclusions of anti-social culture:
All primary schools nationwide must be provided with and trained for the ‘Primary Education Modules.’ All teachers must be trained to observe and identify cognitive apathies and evidence of negative conditioning. Counter primary teaching and simulation methods must be included to counter cognitive apathy. Social work notification for assessment and good parenting courses added to assist. The introduction of good parenting 2-12 & 13-16 [with dual reference manuals] with compulsory antenatal classes.
Introduce and emphasize [with routine teaching & exemplary example] diet and healthy fit lifestyle in school teaching – To counter the obese nature culture and reduce the growing need for NHS services in early to chronic mid life. Get nurses fit and healthy! Bring in Full NHS Reform controls.
Aptitude assessment and multi-career guidance at 17. An increase of Trade school facilities nationwide. ‘Growth Improvement and Thou Art Your Life.’
Bring back national service ‘basic training’ [with land orientation survival, archery and sword craft] with military assessment for ability talent & usefulness.
Violent prisoners should be segregated from non-violent prisoner completely. [different prisons] Rehabilitation should be at the core for 'copperating prisoners'. Non-cooperative violent prisoner will [need to be adjusted for safety and efficacy] can and should be medicated to bring them down to a more civilizational and influenciable state. The U.N approaved medicine Haloperidol [as an example] and Finastricide should be added to a limited and controled diet to gain the humane benefits of the two combination medicines. After a month Interest in Rehabilitaton options will likely become a hunger as a baby to a teat. For many others the confusion, caused by the new philosophical state will [with positive response and reward] will lead to a more aquiencent maliability towards an alternative life view and trade training can be added to the new philiosphical standpoint provided.
Strategy for the maligned, fallen and neglected victims of cultures of old:
Rehabilitating a feral mind is a complex challenge. With the above changes there will be a steady reduction of the fallen. In 30-100 years you should see a reduction of apathy and feral minds by 50% and 99% respectively {UK} [Assuming full design and commitment]
So At worst – Isolating, distracting / inducing good choices of hardened trivial habitual criminals / violent characters – Will result in their reduction to near extinction in their lifetimes [Will also require Negative parenting limitation & or cash payment for tubes tied]
At best – The 'younger' minds in custody can be run through the ‘Primary Education Modules’ with a TA emphasis on philosophy of the individual, the collective in the cosmos. Life choices is next, Trades and ‘’The world is your Lobster.’’ Is a buyers phrase.
Give Opportunity, Incentive & Reward = For Positive Choice.
Getting to a quiet seated acquiescent participant is essential to progress and success.
Prisons should be structured with levels [assuming a 17/any age – for violent & psychologically hostile offenders & all [bar 'specialist cases' ''Lifer's'' & white collar offenders.]

Learn Emotional Control of Negative Emotions. [Anger is a poison & Hatred is a Cancer] [A Neutral Emotional state should be taught, found & practiced - to be achieved instantly, in the face of a negative event or situation.]
