Dominic Raab’s paper seen as fulfilment of quest to destroy Human Rights Act

The Prisoner Solidarity Network is a group of people committed to dismantling the criminal justice system and building a society based on collective care. Our members include people inside and outside of prisons. Some of us are ex-prisoners and some are children, partners, or friends of people inside. Many of us are survivors of interpersonal and state violence. Some of us come to this work through our values rather than direct experience of the prison system.
We want to build a society where conflicts can be resolved without resorting to imprisonment and punishment, where our relationships with each other are not shaped by capitalism and where we are not divided by race, class, or gender.
thanks John for highlighting what goes on in this despicable institution. Shame on those who believe in this kind of torture. Raab is a disgrace.
Wait - dangerous prisoners should be treated like decent human beings, despite the fact they have no regard for ruining other peoples lives? 😂😂😂
Get out of here.
@@andyc6542 Well, when did you ever hear a judge include an order that the guilty person should be subject to the very kinds of treatment that landed many prisoners in jail, such as GBH, attempted murder and murder? Until such a time as a British government legislates to do so, it remains illegal to inflict that kind of treatment on prisoners. We have a justice system that does not pander to base human instincts for a reason: that we do not live by the law of the jungle, and therefore distinguish ourselves with higher standards than those we find guilty and imprison. And that is how is should be. Are you seriously suggesting that prison officers should be allowed to get away with assaulting, torturing and murdering prisoners? It only invites an endless cycle of revenge.
@@linuxzorin6811 that's a very valid and well thought out reply.
It's a difficult subject as we don't want offenders getting out and reoffending as it harbours a culture of reoffending and institutionalising inmates.
Maybe I was a bit harsh with my reply above but genuinely don't know how prisoners should be treated.
Well said @@linuxzorin6811
I served time on the closed support centre, it keeps you away from everyone. It's a prison within a prison. I was also in the segregation unit next door we was allowed 30mins exercise per day. This could be spent walking around the yard or shower time. I was on GOAD (governors good order and discipline) I was also given cell confinement at the same time, that consists of no mattress until 8pm I think no exercise and various other punishments depending on what the governor has decided. This person (professor David Wilson ) we have some unfinished business.(Charles Bronson) was 2 cells away Taylor from strangways riot was also here at the same time. I was also one of the first wave of inmates in here. We had to unpack our own pool tables on the unit, I also should mention I was 17 when this happened.
keep the good work up guys 👍👍👍👍👍well done people need to hear the truth!!!!
Great series this, well done :) Hope to see the 'raw footage' from this one some day ;)
Great video!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep up the good work John. 👍
Nobody in their right mind should work in any prison, they get the shit knocked out of them, and then go off sick, or pack it in, its a nut house, all prisons are nut houses, run by the prisoners themselves.
Top man!
the cells what are like a human fish tank are scary there very small and perplex glass guards sat in front of them behind a two way mirror
Do HMP whitemoor as these close supervision centres are inhuman
a lot of complaints about the system but no suggestions of how to improve it
Free billy
🤣
Worked in Woodhill if you cannot do the time don't do the crime . Prisoners have no rights once they commit a crime . The staff are well trained and hard working. If you don't like prison don't commit crime , do gooders like this chap cause more harm than good , prison is a punishment not a holiday camp
so let me get this right iether your a screw or a civvy within the jail system .who works in a jail so you can mete out punishment you sick toe rag..
This guy has done plenty of time, of course has an axe to grind
" if you cannot do the time don't do the crime". Any other pathetic cliches?
"Prisoners have no rights once they commit a crime". Provide the piece of legislation which cancels out their civil rights...
The UK is a signatory to the UN's Minimum Standards on the Treatment of Prisoners, which forbids isolating people for more than 22 hours a day for over 14 days. The UN defines this as torture. The British state is therefore torturing anyone who is deliberately kept on their own in a cell for over 22 hours a day for more than 14 days.
The UK is also a signatory to the Convention Against Torture (CAF).
If you want to treat people like animals because you think you can get away with it in the hidden world of British prisons, people like you then discredit this country and make us grubby hypocrites when we lecture other countries about human rights.
CSC's are torture units staffed by barbary ape thugs in uniform who have the blood of mentally ill prisoners on their hands.
Being denied your liberty is the punishment, and prisoners do have rights as humans. Typical screw!!
What happens when your set up by the police and end up here and you haven't done the crime
After what this guy did, he shouldn"t have been let out.
The guy done 40 odd years j there is ones done far worse STILL out and ones out before he got out everyone deserves second chance WELL when say everyone theres few whom believe like you shouldn't John a believe done his time MY opinion
@@BRYDO.DRUMMER Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours. However my question to you would be this. If he had done "that" to one of your family or anyone you love, would you think he deserves a second chance?
@@westhamunited67 Well Stephen I new this was coming even before your reply Honestly I would be lying if said He wouldn't I'm only going on met the guy heard the story read the story YES did say ones need second chance if kept all in till come out in box JUST bring back you know what That's never going to happen there is ones that are NEVER getting released can I ask you then as said have met this guy AND not only what he was in for Had the system eating out his hand AND still got released SO done something right as said pal only my opinion
I haven't much tolerance for Terrorists and I feel that torture is appropriate to extract information from them by breaking them down, in the long run will or could stop further acts that would kill or serious injury to the public/ other than that anyone isolated and kept in those conditions is unwarranted in inhuman and I agree should be stopped, long term implications are unmeasured
why dont we torture prison guards that are found guilty of murdering prisoners for no reason, or soldiers that kill civilians on purpose during war time? hmmm
Ah yes, why aren’t we teaching rapists and murderers with love and care
Been there was ok went down hill the jail no one die when I was there
They did when I was there lad hung himself on 2a was f
