Kopek Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Unbelievable! Even Howard Quayle doesn't actually believe this story that we are being taken in by! With the opprobrium heaped here on him, where does that leave us cognoscenti here on MF? Lower than HQ in IQ? Don't anyone ever again critisise HQ for his bumbling farmer Giles manner. HQ has now tweeted that he didn't believe this ever, he only played along with it to get the bozos on MF going!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebean Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This is desperate publicity seeking by a few individuals within DHA that are so far removed from reality themselves that they believe that the general public can be convinced that the liberal prison regime here is a great advance and the IOM is a forward thinking jurisdiction. The true reality is that the Criminal Justice is broken and panders to offenders within a system that has forgotten its core purpose; to protect the public and provide reinforcement of being law-abiding. I have no doubt we will see a focus on the needs of offenders, with prisoners being given "privileges" as the norm and a regime mostly geared towards creating a comfortable and non-confrontational environment for staff and prisoners alike. We can be certain that someone will trot out the "loss of liberty is the punishment not the prison regime" line that reflects the thinking that has removed authority from prison staff and control in prison regimes for the last 30+ years. With all this new thinking we should expect to see less people in jail, safer prisons and less repeat offending. The truth is entirely the opposite. This series will serve only to make the IOM appear as feeble and cowardly as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I would not rate Jurby Hilton as high security, murderers get sent over the water. Also it will be confusing as most of the clients have Scouser accents, it will probably have to be watched with the words underneath x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Bean Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 "And this week in Island Prison we see how Martin who is serving 2 weeks for stealing milk from his neighbour spends his day entering holiday competitions in Take a Break magazine, and all hell breaks out when Dave has his bottle of Au Sauvage stolen whist he was out doing community work at the local farm shop". This is life at its toughest - this is Island Prison!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does "voyeur" mean ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though - this will make us look like a complete bunch on numpties...not exactly a hard core prison environment up at the Jurby Hilton is it? But Jurby does / did have space rockets / shuttles up there, and we where the 5th likely nation to go to the moon, sounds like a good tv series to me, ( but probably not a "Start Treck Moment" ) !

hissingsid Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 There could be an upsurge in crime amongst the elderly if any fresh meals, cost cells and other attractions are featured. A couple of years ago there was an advert in the local rag for a guitarist to teach prisoners how to play....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
