RIGHT TO A CUSHY LIFE IN PRISON
Life for prisoners has become cushier as a result of the Act. They now have the right to vote.
Inmates also won generous compensation for having been forced to 'slop out' in jail cells that don't have toilets, and there have been payouts of £1million to heroin addicts denied their 'right' to methadone.
As a result of claims, legal aid to prisoners has risen 19 times since 2000 - to £19million a year.
"They now have the right to vote". Whilst it is true that convicted prisoners now have the human right to vote, perhaps the Daily Mail would now like to educate its readers and inform them precisely why those convicted prisoners were unable to exercise this human right at the last General Election?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
