AIBU to have little sympathy for prisoners during the heatwave?

[PenelopeJoanSterling]

Metro article about prisoners and the heatwave, but if they behaved they would not be in prison ?

Im all for caring for humanity as a whole, but in terms of prisoners they did commit crimes and get locked up.

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree - but at least we can do it respectfully 😊thank you for your post.

There has to be a prioritization of public funds, and I think prisoners should be at the bottom of the list.
That’s fair. Finding joy in prisoners overheating in overcrowded cells but no access to open windows, ice cubes, cold drinks, sweltering is not fair at all.
I know they’ve a tiny fridge between 3 in a 2 man cell.

So it sucks to be a prisoner.., hey, they shouldn’t have done the crime if they can’t do the time

That's a shame. Anyone who removes the risk of my child becoming the victim of a paedophile deserves at least a fan.

You realise these prisoner on prisoner attacks aren’t a good thing? They’re a sign of our failing justice system that fails to protect prisoners, and breeds a culture of violence?

Nobody can remove that risk.

Oh ffs OP, of course YABU.
Do try to think a little bit more widely than the obvious thing hitting you in the face

Why do prisoners deserve free air-con when so many law-abiding people can't afford it, not to mention, schools, hospitals etc. They already get enough free stuff, food, playstations etc. There has to be SOME consequences for breaking the law.

Loss of liberty is a pretty big consequence.

Some of my fellow humans don't deserve much sympathy. Conditions should be kept at a level that doesn't threaten life, but do I care if they're comfortable? No, not really.

Plenty of our law-abiding people are confined to their homes, too scared to go outside because of the risk of crime.

The consequence is the loss of liberty, as has been explained multiple times on this thread.

pretty sure you are, when you kill said paedophile. They don't become zombies.

Bullshit.

Utter bullshit.

And that is going to be a disproportionate position for the majority of those people. It still has nothing to do with ensuring prisons are safe, humane environments.

You are being facetious now, and you know it.

Our justice system is already failing big time by letting people out when they shouldn't be, not locking them in full stop and not protecting victims and the rest of us.

Prisoners cleaning up and removing child abusers? Of well, unlucky.

I am replying to a stupid comment, did you miss that?

Jesus, take a listen to yourself will you?

If we let prisoners do that, it won’t be long until they turn on staff.

I must have

check your privilege. Just because you obviously don't live in one of the worst areas in this country, doesn't mean others have that luxury.

Agreed. I work in a high school and the conditions are really bad.
That said, my dad was a Prison Officer all his years, so I wouldn’t wish discomfort on the staff.

Oh give over. Nobody is locked in their house for fear.

No one is talking about "letting them" do anything, but when they get rid of child abusers, they deserve a good fan and frankly I am grateful that's one less in the world.

That's another debate, but WHY on earth we try to protect paedophiles and their freedom is beyond me.

Another one failing to realise that many prisoners are on remand.
