    Still think that Yank one in Texas with the tents and the prisoners all wearing pink is the way to go. Very low cost and low crime rate.

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

    Who? The prisoners? The politicians who approve ridiculous expenditure on prisoners? Or both?

    Do we have enough ammo for both? If so how long would it take to get resource consent to either dig a mass grave or incinerate the lot? (Bearing in mind the Greens will blow hard about the noise and smoke.)

    There you go : solved 2 problems in one hit and the day hasn't even properly started yet
    You left out a few steps awayatc.

    Obtain shipping container, ensure its air tight.

    Stick in said prisoners.

    Suck out the air.

    Wait twenty minutes

    Open up, clean out

    Repeat.

    Give call center jobs to hard working Kiwi's....they almost speak english.

    Outsource the prisons to India. Any crim with a sentence longer than 3 months gets a free return ticket to an Indian jail. I'm pretty sure they don't spend 600,000K per cell out there.

    when I was a young lad and backpacked my way around the world I had an interesting encounter with a young French guy who had spend a number of years in a Prison in Marocco for trying to smuggle drugs out of the country.
    Prison was in the desert, and was very basic with very few guards...and even less facilities. No cells, just a compound with some shelter/ and things.
    Nowhere to escape to.....
    Interestingly though was that food etc was not supplied.....
    Your family had to send it over, or you needed to buy some from other inmates who had supplylines.....

    He learned to speak Arab while there, that was the one and only upside to it all for him....
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    Yeah. I want to see the spec's.

    Really.

    In the private sector it's possible to blow a scope of work up to "simply not going to happen", but... it simply doesn't happen.

    That sometimes doesn't apply to Government projects, especially when Mill-spec's or similar, (as in mind-numbingly complex Amnesty International driven standards out of Geneva irrelevant to domestic application here) apply.

    But I'd sure as hell like a shot at the RFQ anyway.

    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!

    Exactly, and the ideal site is the central plateau.

    Was he there with his Howard League hat on?

    If so they should really have had someone like Garth McVicar from Sensible Sentencing there also.

    But then... ballance, from a mainstream media engine? Not really likely.

    And again, disinterest from an avaowed political advocate and profesional barister?... P'raps not.

    It's also really good to know that Telecoms new network will work inside a shipping container.

    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??
