Holloway - as seen on TV
Andi's post about his builder mate made me think of the TV prog based on Holloway prison.
Has anyone been watching it? Did it look like much of a detterant to you? TV for £1 a week and they can watch it as much as they like. I thought the
top earners on £20 a week maybe had to work hard, but if they can buy things so cheap its hardly a low wage.
What amazed me the most was that they were smking anywhere they fancied. I thought there was a smoking ban in this country. I worked out that it was
filmed a while ago, but by what they were saying on release dates etc i worked out it was probs Aug 07. Didnt the ban come in just before then? (it
still bugs me that you see people smoking on TV even though they are obviously at work on a TV set!).

I dunno... watching TV seems like quite a deterrent to me.
Have you seen what's on these days!!! 
Cheers,
James

prisoners can smoke inside...cant stop them...its against their human rights.
Prison officers cant smoke inside though.

So presumeably if an officer gets secondary smoking lung cancer he can sue ALL OFF the cons he's ever supervised.
I doubt it But he'll probably have a claim against the government i.e. us the taxpayer instead.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

call me a facist dictator or a nazi, but does anyone else think prisoners should forfeit certain "human rights" if they break laws which
are there to keep them on the straight and narrow?
i.e. prisoners who commit violent crimes or cause serious harm to other people, shouldn't they forfit their human rights in lieu of compensation
for the harm caused?
