Why oh why does every other notice from management have to end with blood curdling threats of sanctions?
We get it. Bad boys are slung out, OK?!

About Me
- prisonerben
- United Kingdom
- Previously known as "one of Britain's best known prisoners...he constantly questions authority and exposes the futility of the system" The Times, Ben was finally released from prison after 32 years in August 2012. Pleading guilty to the murder of a friend when he was 14 years old, he renounced violence and fought for the recognition of the inherent dignity of all human beings. As a result of speaking truth to power, he served far longer than the recommended 10 years, leading Education Secretary Michael Gove to argue that he had "been punished excessively for a crime committed as a child". One of the more intellectual of prisoner-campaigners, Ben chose to educate himself from schoolboy level to having both undergraduate and post graduate degrees. He is currently one of very few prisoners in Britain ever to attempt a Doctorate. Ben's speciality is non-violent action and the Human Needs Theory. Now on Life Licence, He is forging a career as a CJ policy consultant, writer and - as ever - campaigner.
"Bad boys are slung out" ... oh noes!
ReplyDeleteBut what about the public??? You know, public protection? They should keep the bad boys in.
Seems like they've got it all wrong and upside down again. Nothing new there then!
Take care Ben, all the best, must be difficult for you at the moment, thanks for keeping up with the blog, its appreciated x
The threat of falling foul of the petty rules of open prison (and thus landing back in a closed!) is an ever-present worry for Cat D cons - and certainly not something they need a constant reminder of.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these rules can easily be 'over-enforced' by some of the more mean-spirited staff against anyone they see fit.
Step lightly Ben....
