Convict advises Tories on prisons

The Conservative party today have announced that they are to take advice from a recently incarcerated convict on how prisons should be reformed and run.

Clearly the Conservative party have no intention whatsoever of seriously tackling crime and punishment when they resort to employing a convict to advise them on how prisons should be run.

In recent times it has become the 'norm' for reformers from the so-called big three parties to poll convicts as to whether they believe prison works. Unsurprisingly the convicts tell them it does not, thus the liberals hold this as being a undeniable fact. It has been likened as to being rather like asking the turkeys to vote on Christmas.
The Conservative party however, intends proverbially to put the turkey in charge of Christmas.
