Prisoners in shipping containers

[peasea]

We're world famous for baby killing these days.




Xylone B was found to be more effective.




Tsk.. put those fuckers in first.



Back on topic.. how many soldiers live in each container when they're away on tour? In my personal experience in the Brit army, four of us lived in each container for six months at a time. In 35 degree heat (with just one fan per container) and in -10 deg cold (with one heater per container).

Why the fuck should prisoners have anything better than soldiers??

It should be the other way around..........give the soldiers some comfort and the crims a rocket!

The paper was quoting a figure of $300,000 + to covert a shipping container to a cell or $600,000 + to build a "real" cell.

Either price is madness.

While I am not a builder, I can add. A cubic metre of concrete is still under $200, so I simply can't see how a cell can cost more than $10k, even with under floor heating.

Some-one is getting very very rich here, - perhaps the real criminals are lurking in the governments procurement departments !

Hardcase, my father inlaw had an engineer bizzo, years ago, he did some work on Linton Prison.
He put together some quotes on materials required, and thought it ridiculously costly, went out of his way to find similar materials, at a much lower cost, called the project manager, gave him the heads up, but no...it was insisted on, that he use the costly materials. So he did.

We only had this convo again a couple of months ago...and he's still shaking his head.

Kim Workman is saying this is inhumane for prisoners (300 g's sound's pretty inhumane) but yet, how is it not inhumane for soldiers?

Unreal.

Yeah there has to be a lot more to it than just the container.

I'd envisage a few rows of insulated (ex-refrigerated) containers, probably on piles, connected to electricity, water/waste/storm drains with concrete paths in between. Situated on the grounds of a prison within the security fencing. All of that costs but hell, not $300,000 each.

Waste of a perfectly good reefer!! All though I never thought to ask at work if they can heat as well as cool. Might find a reefer tech at work tomorrow and ask....

Also forget to put airholes in the containers

Unless it's a reefer all the containers are made with ventilation holes... nothing a littler filler can't fix though.....

I bet you could fit a lot more prisoners in if the container was stood on end. (and given a shake or two).

works for scrap metal...... fucks the walls though...

Corollary: Why should soldiers have it better than housing NZ tennants? and the rest of the family out in the garage?

much better place for spending $300k

Peter Williams QC, on TV1 tonight (close up) part of the solution or part of the problem?

The man claims he has been visiting prisons in New Zealand for 50years and that he should know!

According to him, containers are not humane for prisoners to live in.

For 50 years he has been obviously creaming it off crime and maintaining a high standard of living at the same time.

For lawyers like him, crime really pays no wonder they side so often with the criminals.

It's like expecting rabbit boards to exterminate "rabbits" therebye destroying their own rice bowl. Yeah right!

He came over like a prize fuckwit.
Sure, the Tower of London is no longer an option but really, do they need air con? ffs!

And soldiers are trained to protect the nation. Crims just fuck it.

Maybe crims can assist the military.......

target practice anyone?

[oldrider]

If you want to improve your standard of living!

Worldwide: Work harder and smarter.

New Zealand: Go to jail.

They have overlooked the obvious in that, stack em' high.
That way at least, the inmates would have a wonderful view of whatever they are looking at. Not to mention the space saved. Cellphone reception would be greater as would Sky, although, pissing out the window (they will have windows wont they?) could be a problem? Not so much during the cold days, it would freeze and then break when it hits the ground. OSH may have something to say about ti though.

It is actually "Zyklon B".

Details..

Very effective, never-the-less.
