I've been to Butlns Minehead and it was grim! :D

 

Worse. On a par with Pontins Prestatyn. Yes, it's really that bad.

Facts and logic don't work with some people. It's all outrage and "they've got 3 square meals a day and Playstations. Hanging's too good for them".

It really isnt

Google is your friend 🙂

My Google says your Google is full of bollocks. I wish that I could say that this was an isolated incident.

South Africa: Population, 57.8m, 154,000

England and Wales, Population: 56 million, Prison population: 79,433

https://www.prisonstudies.org/highest-to-lowest/prison-population-total?field_region_taxonomy_tid=All

 

They have a population only slightly bigger than ours, and a prison population of around twice ours. Please, tell me more about how the conditions of South African prisons would help deter crime.

They have a population 10% lower than ours, and a prison population of over twice ours. Please, tell me more about how the conditions of South African prisons would help deter crime. 

Look at the povety in south Africa and the way of life for many people. Some reoffenders may not have a choice due to having nothing.

London has povety yes but not the kevel of what people there have. Massive gang problems there also.

Im not full of "bollocks" please  stop being a baby and have a adult Conversation without the crappy digs

Back up your argument with anything that amounts to facts or evidence then. There is absolutely no correlation between prison conditions and incarceration rate. 

Someone correctly mentioned Scandinavia on the previous page.

Sweden, population of 10m, prison population of 6k.

Norway, population of 5.5 million, prison population of 3.2k

Neither countries well known for their hellish prison experiences.

China, 1.7m people in prison. They're not well known for being holiday camps.

Why you throwing random countries into this debate? What has this got to do with jail conditions in south africa? Your theowing numbers out there but have you a analysed why they might be re offending? Why not throw brazil or Argentina whike your at it?

Have you seen ross kemps documentary on south africa gangs? The prison conditions looked horrific. I was basing it on a opinion from what i have seen iof several prisons over there. Did i look at the population figures?  Nope 

You chose to question my opinion (which isnt wrong by the way) you dont know it wouldnt work here just as much as i dont know if it would unless it happened - which wont so makes this conversation pointless

Well **** it mate, if you've got an ill-informed hunch based on Ross Kemp on Gangs, we're done here. Who needs discussion, Dem for Minister for Justice. Get South African Prisons Done. 

I'll ask you one final question, in an attempt to make you consider whether you could possibly be wrong, @Demitri_C. why on earth would poor prison conditions deter crime when the death penalty doesn't?

Google tells me your own example proved you wrong.

Worse prisons, twice as many people in there.

You really shouldn’t be watching Ross Kemp telly programmes for your ideas on reducing offending behaviour.

Hasnt been tried here though so you cant say its a failure unless attempted.

With anyone if it fails in one country it doesnt neccesarily mean it will fail here.

Your asking me a impossible question that even you cant unless your a criminal. Only they know the answer why they re offend. You can throw as many statistics  numbers etc. But only the person who re offends knows why they still went ahead and did the crime knowing death sentence etc would be punishment.

Not even gonna respond with your childish first paragraph. Your a grown man spitting your toys out the pram again because you dont agree with my opinion. Im pretty much done with this conversation as you clearly cant debate without childish digs.

But *what* hasn't been attempted? I haven't watched Ross Kemp on Gangs, but I'm assuming that prison gangs are the subject matter, no? Presumably you're not arguing that the government should create several violent prison gangs to endanger the lives of inmates?

Nope never suggested that. Just the conditions of the prisons

I think you need to read more about the history of crime and punishment in this country. We used to deport people to Australia, on a one-way journey with a very high chance of death en route, for crimes as trivial as picking apples from orchards, and it didn't mean the end of crime.

I really think you should reconsider this 'horrible prisons would mean fewer prisoners' argument. Looking at the list of countries by their incarceration rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate) suggests there is almost certainly no connection. I certainly doubt that El Salvador and Turkmenistan (2nd and 3rd on the list) are known for being soft touch, namby-pamby liberals in how they run their prisons.
