The normal guy in the UK doesn't stand a chance. He can't own a firearm, he's screwed if he defends himself, and now the prisons are almost 'rest homes' for the inmates.
British prisoners 'too comfortable to escape' | The AustralianGood lord. The UK's in a death spiral...BRITISH prisoners are passing up opportunities to escape because they are more comfortable inside jails where there is a plentiful supply of cheap drugs, according to a prison officers' union leader.
Staff morale is at rock bottom and many jails are close to anarchy because of underfunding, said Glyn Travis, assistant general secretary of the Prison Officers Association.He gave warning yesterday that the drug problem was now "out of control" and said even prostitutes were sometimes smuggled in.
Mr Travis told of an institution in Yorkshire where members of the public were climbing over the prison walls to take drugs inside. "They put up ladders to climb over the walls, but prisoners were so comfortable in the environment they were living in that none tried to climb up the ladders and escape," he said, in a reference to Everthorpe Prison.
