The Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke, said yesterday that prisoners should no longer live a life of ‘enforced, bored idleness’ and that his aim is to make prisons ‘tougher places of hard work and reform for the criminals who should be locked up’ and ‘make community sentences that really are tougher and more effective for those who don't need to be locked up’.
Doubtless, all the bleeding hearts will now emerge to say how Dickensian these proposals are and how they offend against prisoners’ human rights.
But so far as I am concerned, Mr Clarke is spot on. Bring back oakum picking is what I say!
