youngmafbog - "Outsourcing jails has always seemed a good idea to me. Bung the Thai's or the Burmese a one-off £250K per lifer and ask no further questions."
Our legal system deems that loss of liberty is punishment enough - harsh conditions and physical abuse are not considered part of the package.
That's the difference between a civilised penal system and a non-civilised penal system.
You may scoff at that - but who knows, maybe one day a relative or friend may be very grateful for it.

I'm afraid I don't subscribe to the hand wringing lefty liberal Hughs justice system.
Just because it is what is in place does not make it right.
If a friend or relative of mine committed such a heinous crime as I would deem necessary for outsourcing then I myself would pack their bags to go to Thailand.

Then we agree to differ.

TTT - "Interesting that AH et al consider it civilised to impose comfort on our low lives whiles imposing misery on the law abiding."
I did not mention 'imposing comfort' on anyone - criminal or not.
I do not consider it civilised to impose misery on the law-abiding - that could be a good reason why I did not say that.
I said that our judicial system considers loss of liberty to be the level of punishment it wishes to impose - that is a fact.
It has nothing to do with how comfortable our prisons are - that is a separate debate.

Andy,
I agree with what you stated though I would point out that judges hands are often tied by legislation and sentencing guidelines.
I get the impression when reading some judge's comments that they would have liked to issue a tougher sanction so sometimes the punishment doesn't appear to fit the crime but that is also another debate to be had!
