Exclusive: Prisoners stripped searched turned into porno movie

Exclusive: Prisoners stripped searched turned into porno movie

Whilst I agree with the Director General of the Prison Service, Phil Wheatley that this is, in effect, a non-story because as he states "As to the incident involving the strip search of the young person, I have seen the video and reviewed the matter in great detail. I am convinced that at no point in the process was he compliant and the staff involved dealt with the incident correctly in the circumstances, when faced by a difficult and disturbed young man".

However, perhaps Phil Wheatley will now be carrying out an investigation to discover how Prison Service CCTV security tapes of prisoners being strip searched have found there way onto a pornography website?

The humiliation of a strip search must trigger sexual abuse flashbacks in some prisoners.
Christ knows how they'd feel if they knew they might be turned into wanking fodder.

The prisoners' faces are visible - use facial recognition technology to locate and compensate them (and find the prison too).

Is it the one on the front page? The guy with all the tattoos? That doesn't look real to me.

This is too disgusting for words. If you want to prevent re-offending and promote rehabilitation, then people must be treated as full members of society, at all times. This goes for the voting issue in prisons, and treating them with dignity. We have to learn from the Scandinavians. They're more civillized in their approach to prison, result? = less re-offending. Sadly, all debate about crime and punishment is hijacked by the hang em and flog em brigade. Most people's attitude to criminals and prisoners is: "There but for the grace of God goes I". This should be really investigated, and youngsters should certainly not be humiliated with strip searches.
