Off with them

Posted in Blog by Twenty Major on August 30th, 2007

Hah, check this out:

Prisoners in Mountjoy are reportedly stockpiling weapons in preparation for a major riot if new security measures are introduced at the jail. Reports this morning say many prisoners have already been released or transferred to other facilities in an effort to disrupt the planned riot. Stashes of knives, broken broom handles and bricks have reportedly been found during cell searches in recent days.

Erm, these blokes are in prison, behind bars, in cells. It surely can’t be that fucking difficult to control them. If you discover something like this you simply keep the cunts locked up to wallow in their own filth until their spirits are broken.

If some of them object or still kick up a fuss make them share their cell with a bear or some kind of carrion eating bird. I guarantee you they’ll become more compliant rather quickly.

Prison really does bring out the MacGyver in prisoners though, doesn’t it?

“We’ve got a problem on C wing.”

“What’s going on?”

“Seems one of them made a thermo-nuclear device out of his toothbrush, some old stones from the yard and the macaroni they had for dinner the other week.”

“My God. Oh the humanity and such.”

No matter what you take away from them they’ll always find something else to make a weapon out of. Having given it some careful consideration I have decided that the only way to prevent this happening is to cut off their hands.

    The cheeky fuckers want to riot because they can’t get drugs in anymore. Poor them, you’d think it was a right or something.
    I read a better one tho, Prisoners in Limerick took out a contract on the sniffer dog finding all their gear!

    Oh I liked this line… “many prisoners have already been released…”

    Let’s see, have I got this right? Someone says, “The prisoners will riot if we don’t release them!”

    So the guvnor says, “Wuhlease the pwisoners!” ???

    Prison doesn’t work. Fact.

    Prisoners get locked up like animals for most of the day and the only way to escape from the treatment is drugs.

    The majority of people in prison are mentally unstable and shouldn’t be in prison in the first place; they shoud be in a mental institution. Fact.

    They’re not all mentally ill. Most of them are people that have committed crimes. Some of them, by the nature of their crimes, are loopers but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t cut their hands off.

    I don’t agree with been too hard on prisoners.
    We have to treat them reasonably.
    They should get at least two meals a day.
    bread and water for breakfast and mashed spuds in the evening.
    There should be no more than 10 per cell, and the buckets should be big enough to take at least 10 good shits without over flowing on to the cell floor.
    They should be allowed out of their cells for at least 10 minutes a day.
    Just because there rapists, murders, child molesters etc. doesn’t mean we should treat them like animals.

    However, if they’re not happy with the very generous conditions, some of which are outlined above, and they try to riot. Then I agree, cut their hands off

    prisons aren’t the problem, social welfare is. american statistician bloke pointed out that drop in crime rates in american cities in the early 90’s had nothing to do with deterrence or policing. most of criminals were in late teens/early twenties, with poor backgrounds, single parents, no education etc. drop in crime rate was because abortion became legal in the states in early 70’s, so single parents could get rid of unwanted kids who would otherwise grow up to be criminals. getting rid of single parent allowances, child benefit etc. would save responsible taxpayers a shit load of money and help reduce crime rates. deal with the cause, not effect.

    and, while i’m at it, world hunger and poverty could both be solved the same way - have less kids. less people - more for everyone else, and less of those whiny cunts bono and geldof on the telly. great.

    As I said in a previous thread, mobile phone jammers in and around the Joy. Drug rehab units and summary courts on-site for punishment of crimes committed in custody.

    Bring back corporal punishment. Including Twenty’s rather handy idea.

    Mentally ill patients/criminals don’t go into the Joy, they go to Dundrum and other places of detention per the CL (Insanity) Act 2006.

    Tend to agree with Porridge, welfare state is gone a little mad!

    Wuldnt agree with you porridge. The main issue with the welfare state is the letter has taken precedence over the spirit of the law. And the conning wee cunts know how to abuse this.

    Taking it away from those who genuinely need it isnt the answer - it just needs to be applied with stricter guidelines.

  31. porridge says:

    the spirit of the law - is that one of those fanciful notions such as natural justice? the whole point of law is the emphasis on technical details.

    regardless, social welfare allows people who can’t afford/don’t want to look after kids have them regardless, and then take no responsibility for their lack of upbringing and the ensuing social problems. i have as many kids as i can afford and want (none), and i’m fucked if i can see why i should pay for child benefit, housing or lots of prisons for that matter, for cunts who haven’t worked a day in their lives. if anyone genuinely needs any of this, they have too many kids, end of story.

  35. sheepworrier says:

    Dunno what natural justice is porridge - the spirt is the overall intention, rather than the loop-hole infested letter of the law which lets cunts off on minor technicalities.

    So would you advocate licencing having kids? Its a slippery slope once you start that shite. I agree with not payin taxes for the work-shy twats - bring back the fuckin work houses - but thats hardly the kids fault.

    August 30th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
    34

  36. porridge says:

    nope, no licencing, let people have as many kids as they want, just don’t reward them for doing so. if you train a dog to bite you and then give it a reward, it’ll continue to bite you if you keep giving it rewards.

    from childstats.gov:
    “In 2005, the serious violent crime offending rate was 17 crimes per 1,000 juveniles ages 12–17, totaling 437,000 such crimes involving juveniles. While this is somewhat higher than the rate in 2004, it is significantly lower than the 1993 peak rate of 52 crimes per 1,000 juveniles ages 12–17.”

    Cutting off their hands won’t solve the problem but cutting their fucking throats will. So that no one complains, call yourselves Communists and the world will turn a blind eye as it does with China and you can kill all of them in one fell swoop. Or — bring back the gulags and work the shit to death, better yet, just lock them in their cages and forget about them for a couple of months. All of them. As each piece of shit passes on that will make room for another to be stowed. To insure future security, put the liberal shits that cater to them in with them. Kill all the bad birds at the same time.

    No matter that they’d be on the dole for the rest of their lives. Their most aggressive years would be behind them, they’d produce no more offspring, and the dole would be a fuck load cheaper than keeping them in the clink.

They’re just twisted fuckers - not mentally ill.

    Bearhunter. If only life were so straightforward, but there’s always going to be tools looking for the next high, whether it be tea, coffee, cigs, pints, cottaging or whatever.

    There will always be a demand for drugs until the penalty is strict enough to discourage it. When I see even one-horse-towns literally riddled with the sort of stuff you couldn’t get in New York 30 years ago I despair.

    And for those fuck-wipes who put alcohol and cigarettes in the same basket, piss off.

    Alcohol is regulated, and a constant standard, whether it be 4%, 14% or 40% proof. You know just how much you need to get shit faced and can effectively plan for it. Cigarettes will kill you, but it is going to take 20 a day over 30 -40 years.

    Drugs can create very instant, very psychotic behaviour with pretty shitty side affects (permanent seratonin depletion anyone? Bueller? Anybody. Bueller?).

    Advocating it’s legal distribition is all very well, but Holland has tried and not succeeded too well.

    I just don’t know what the best solution is (other tahn hanging, amputation, stoning etc.etc…..)
