🤦♀️ let’s give prisoners double glazing as well! Prisons are for people who break the law, how, by making it more homely will it stop people committing crimes? Possibly encourage some for more comfortable conditions than they have outside prison!
wow really
Really is this a joke? Why not just put nice hinges and smooth handles so the poor victims don't injure themselves!
That's why its a prison. I wish they can try serving short term in Nigeria prisons or anywhere else in Africa
I'm here for the comments
Isn't that the point in prison ? This is how a prison should look no human rights no access to the outside world don't do the crime if you can't do the time
Surely not !
Phones,tv,no bars on the windows who says crime doesn’t pay,who’s crazy idea is this
You are right, there should be no bars at all.. just brick them all up.. good day
Only in Britain. FFS Barmylefties dogooders
Spikes and razor wire,and a cold shower at 6am from a fire hose....
They will be wanting curtains and some blinds for sunny days next.
How about a skylight.🤔
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha they are supposed to be it’s called PRISON ffs
Is it April Fools day? Or have the loonies taken over the asylum
This and phones in their rooms....why not just put them up in hotels instead!!!!
What next, not having their own key to the door?
Here was me thinking they were to stop prisoners escaping, silly me 🙄
Laser bars is the future.
Oh dear! They she off put the money towards schools and the NHS. Not this rubbish.... I for one would like the death penalty brought back, for all the serial killers and paedophiles that killed innocent people.
Why not no locks on doors and 2 weeks hol in the med every year and don't forget fish and chip Friday with a pint
Might as well add day release on the agreement they return at 10pm or face grounding for a week
Remove bars but add a ball and chain to all
Holy crap! Are these people insane?!!!
PEOPLE WILL BE COMMITTING CRIMES JUST TO GET INTO PRISONS NOW🏨
Thought prison supposed to institutional
i knooow.. much cheaper to just have a wall with a screen... then you can have barred windows as a wall paper for those guys.. dats if they behave.
Why not put some Roses in the cells as well to make them smell nice 😡😡😡 poxy country is run by C**ts.
But 'Bars Work'!!!
RoaringMeg1872 Probably effect their Sky picture and signal to their drones....... FFS
Good.
But councils can put up anti homeless grids etc?
The removal will cost a few quid why not just give them a key?
I completely agree, they should brick the window openings up, this will save a fortune on building maintenance (painting etc). It will stop drugs & mobile phones being smuggled in by Drones, & give an incentive for prisoners to 'Reform'
Melancholalia Are they going to remove the prison walls too on the same basis?
Isn’t that like the point
Heaven forbid an institution should appear institutional!!!
They say that bars are more punitive than windows with harden glass. Incredulous!
No words!
Nope, checked it is not April fools day! What a joke. Have you seen Spanish prison and others? The UK is the joke of them all, before this! Some one start a petition. prisonmeansprison
I'm thinking of moving in 😊
You’ve got to be kidding me😤 what the fuck next!
Oh that's nice, give them a balcony each with sun loungers and an umbrella 😠😠
Bloody ridiculous
Maybe we should put in some nice leaded light windows for them 😡
Bollocks to ‘em
give it a few years.... 'Bars to be put back as prisoners had the audacity to escape after promising not to'
HMP Hilton just round the corner, beyond belief!!!
I want to know that people who commit crime are in institution's
$5 says the company installing the new windows has in some way influenced this decision. Follow the money
Put them in a hotel
Yep I wouldn’t mind a spell in theremyself instead of being hard working law abiding and tax payinh
Brick them up.
Heard it all now - the inmates are already looking at sample books to ascertain what colour carpeting they want for their cells - whoops, I mean their room with a view ! On a different subject - 27 illegal immigrants - whoops migrants, looking for benefits - whoops work etc !!!
Funny that but prisons without bars are still institutional
Wouldn’t it be easier just to close the prisons down and let them all do as they like, it’s almost like that anyway
AnnRozier1 Prisons aren’t supposed to be holiday camps.
Sounds like an Irish suggestion to the eu commission!
Disgusting
Oh dear - can't upset those on the inside can we? Are they going to get double glazing and curtains of their choice? 😡😡
rentonMagaUK Parallel universe
I do hope they don't forget the double glazing.
GilesMacDonogh skydivingturtl1
🤦♂️
Stone walls do not a prison make,/Nor iron bars a cage...
What about a valet for them.
Christ is every cell getting decking and sky tv ?
And I suppose the warmers are going to read the cons a bedtime story then give them a kiss and tuck them up just like mummy did. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.😀😢
Maybe they are just to stop people breaking in and stealing the inmates TVs .
Cat burglar flaps?
Holiday Camp
Erm is a prison not an institution. Mind you will make it so much easier to get the drugs in.
About time! We don't need to treat criminals in that barbaric way
At least it will reduce the number of suicides committed each year by inmates from hanging from the bars
Would hate for them to feel like criminals. Why not give them a phone in every cell a tv a gym a games room why not make it like a hotel? O wait they already are.
Lol
😂😂😂🙈🙉🙊Crazy UK!
Prisons ARE institutional!!! If the Govt has so much spare cash to spend may I suggest it spends it on our homeless, who don't even have the luxury of a bloody window to put a pane of glass in!
Why? This is not a holiday camp..these people committed crimes end of! Too many do gooders who haven't got a clue!
bobbynuance The replies
bobbynuance Outraged Daily Mail reader klaxon
The findings in the report state the bars are “punitive” and “institutional”... Prison IS punitive in its very nature and an organisation for social purpose is one definition of an institution.
Oh did Nancy find them immoral?
A prison is a bloody institution. What the hell is going on in this country!!!
They're in PRISON. Brick them up and leave a peep hole. FFS. Concentrate on wellbeing of decent people.
Wow we’re just a few years away from room service for convicted criminals, what a time to be alive.
Of course they’re institutional, prisons are!
Money? Long Term solutions? Using money to target some roots of criminal behavior, like ADHD, etc?
.... that’s the point.
They even had a former prisoner on the news saying it would make no sense or difference. Leave it to some dissertation-spawning do-gooder to screw up something that works perfectly well as usual.
BENEFITS_NEWS They don't deserve anything let them serve their time without comfort
You really couldn’t make this shit up....
That's a joke isn't it
😒😒 prisons to be phased out as they are found to be institutional and punish the guilty 😫😫😫😫😫
A prison with not bars, what’s next a pub with no beer!
Next they'll be getting rid of bread and water. ?
Just leave the door open...... I will soon be better off in prison, as I will be a pensioner soon - heating, 3 meals a day, a bed, friends etc......
Can we have the death penalty restored after Brexit please?🤔
It's about time. I used to hate them in my cell.
I suppose that make it a prison! Not a hotel that they have now become...! 🤭
Is that not the point?
poor prisoners ,anyone would think they are jailed for committing crimes and been found guilty in a court ,,next they will say they should all have keys for cells ,load of crap ,prison should be difficult and unpleasant ,these scum dont deserve comforts
And?.....
Civil liberties gone mad! The world has gone truest mad!
Just bricks then.
WTF...this will encourage more to go to jail.If this is the new prison system,god help us
Why not let every stinking criminal out of jail and lock up the victim,s who would be a whole lot safer in jail
Wow
Just right replace them with razor wire the fxxking scum are dictating how they should be treated and the snowflake liberals haven't the balls to do what should be done to criminals
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Institutional? Bull shit they are being replaced with windows that make it impossible for prisoners to get trafficked items through ie from drones
It's a prison...they kinda need them...that's kinda the point.
What rubbish, sack whom ever came to this conclusion
Folk will want to go to prison on purpose cos of the luxury they will get! “Easy life ey”!!
Brilliant just take away the windows as well.
Maybe it’s because prisons are institutions not luxury hotels?
Ffs why not just turn prisons into Hiltons? Has this govt forgotten these cretins need punishing not given room service?
Yeah ther should be pots with flowers 💐 😀
In other news the sun rises in the mornings. People are sooo stupid it's ridiculous
Am assuming this is a joke.
Can we do more to make it feel like it's Home Sweet Home.
This means everyone on the outside is going to need the bars now.
😂🤣🤣
I thought that was the whole point, its a prison after all!!!!!
Why’d not leave the door unlocked as well This Country is getting sillier by the hour
No doubt the Government will have paid a consultancy firm millions to come up with this. What a time to be alive!!!!
Stop this world I want to get off.
really is shite at times
What rot. They would have no windows and hard labour if it was up to me. 😡😡😡
Pathetic, this country is so soft it’s becoming a laughing stock!
Snowflakes winning 👏👏👏
Next judges will be issuing 6 month sentences for kiddy rapists
Ban the locks on the doors and the gates. Don’t want them feeling claustrophobic...
But they are in fact , institutions no ?
Yeah. We can't have those poor prisoners feeling upset or anything can we
Fancy people thinking prisons are signs of institution, and why wouldn’t it?
Ffs someone's lost the f**kin plot for sure
Just give them room cards and room service next
Prisons are institutional. It should be basic basic accomodate. Nothing more. Can’t do the time? Don’t do the crime! They are getting too soft.
It’s not a bloody holiday camp! It’s to stop them escaping 🤬🤬🤬
Treat people like animals in cages and they will act like that.
Awwwww diddums poor little criminals 🙄🤪
🎶Soft Touch UK. Where the criminal comes first🎶
Is it April 1st already.
Cells without heating I say !
Prison beats Skeggy.
What about those pesky locks on the doors as well
Yeah no windows then. Much better.
Waiting for the advertisement... Wanted: Tooth fairy Apply at your local Nick Bless them
Where will the blighters hang themselves now🤬
Wait.... You're worried if the poor little criminals are feeling unhappy behind bars? CAN YOU HEAR YOURSELF?
Once you’re in prison you lose any right you had before committing a crime. What is wrong with this country ffs
If anyone who commented here actually read the report, replacing bars with toughened glass windows will make it more difficult to pass drugs and mobile phones to inmates. It is more than a cosmetic change.
“Yvonne Jewkes, a professor of criminology at the University of Bath, is now said to be conducting a second study into whether calling prisoners 'men' and cells 'rooms' will help rehabilitation” Assuming Genders!!? Fascists 🙄
All the cons will be requesting a transfer to that one at Wrexham - tea/coffee, sandwiches and a laptop !
Problem is, the toughened glass, which is infact Perspex is slowly melted by prisoners overnight to make holes in it. The holes are made bigger and bigger and hey presto the passing of contraband continues. Replacing or repairing the windows are too expensive. A complete waste.
Locked up for a bloody good reason, bars are there for a good reason. Break the law and be prepared to be institutionalised and so they should. Scum bags are having it easier and easier now. Fuck this government
As Prison Officers we protect the public by keeping those in custody, start taking away further more security and escape will be so easy. Ridiculous suggestion.
i wouldn't have any windows let them stare at the walls..also a bucket to shite in ...nice 😜
May as well take the glass out as well. And no sharp edges on the fence
Why bother putting them away at all 🤔
I’m so glad someone is finally malig prison more comfortable for the prisoners
I’m sure the new French doors will look amazing
So if it takes their fancy,they can just climb out and go home
Absoluly stupid descion .. you want them like hotels now Unreal and not at all somthing I or many others agree with at all 10DowningStreet theresa_may awful ..
I’m all for human rights n stuff, but Isn’t that the whole point?
Let’s leave the bloody door open also
FFS Next they’ll have the doors removed 😱
Next thing the guards will be tucking them in every night. The prisons in the uk have to be one of the most luxurious globally.
Is that incasethe bars interfere with the sky signal
FF81 The generation of hand holding
What's next? Removing teachers from schools as the government doesn't want to tell kids what to do CrazyIdeas
I believe that's because it is an 'institution 🙄
Snowflake nanny state. Totally ridiculous might as well open the prisons and let them out !
Water to be phased out of drinking fountains after report finds it is “wet”.
I don't believe this crap it's a prison
Might as well have no jails at all put them up in a hotel instead
Prisons are overcrowded and under staffed yet the government are spending money on reports about bloody windows! You couldn’t make this shit up!!
If you don’t commit a crime you won’t be put behind bars. If you don’t like bars on windows don’t commit a crime.
Nothing to do with keeping inmates inside then? 🙄
Open a pub n bookie as well.
Isn't that the point 🤔
Is this for the snowflakes and the easily offended prisoners now jeez how about some hard labour or just labour instead of TV, gym, PlayStation etc.
Poor babies
🙄 this country is well & truly fu*ed
Well we can’t have that in an institution can we? How about guards, too guardian?
Just Ridiculous...
🤨🤨🤨🤨 world's gone mad
I hope that the UK never gets to fight another war of any kind because the Politicians are a joke and do not deserve the salary they get.
Locks on their doors also being phased out!!!
Better looked after than some of the elderly in care homes, they have way too much luxuries in there for the crimes they've committed
Pillow menu perhaps?
This is no accident the state of this country and the ridiculous policies...it's all going to plan as this speech explains perfectly.
Hmm isn’t that the point? 🤔
Errr am I missing something here? Prison is not a holiday camp. Lock them up and punish them. Prison is meant to be a deterrent. Not a fxxking holiday camp.
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s what a prison is
Perhaps we should brick the windows up then
Why stop there why not just give em the keys and let them come and go themselves
It’s supposed to be prison, not a holiday
It’s supposed to be institutional the facking idiots, these people excluded themselves by acting like animals, they really think removing the bars will stop re- offending? G4S tried the soft approach and look what happened to HMP Birmingham, twats
Isn't that what prison is an institution
Lets paint some pretty pictures on them instead
If I was homeless I would try every trick in the book to get a bit of bird, roof over your head 3 meals a day and no pressure !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ridiculous
We wouldn’t want murders, pedophiles and terrorists to feel institutionalised would we.
The MoJ should look at the definition of ‘institutional’. The clue’s there. What next? A nice snuggly throw, a beanbag and a few scatter cushions? Who’s supposed to be protected - the victim or the criminal? 😡😡😡😡
Funny that considering it is an institution for bad people to be kept from civilisation.
stubo30
Just brick em up.
Ahhh bless those poor little criminals and their rights. Let’s make sure they have Premier Inn soft beds and king size and they get B&B and a nice reception to meet their demands so they are more protected inside. Crime does pay I guess and we are the mugs paying for it.
Surely these people deserve to be punushed hence measures need to be punitive
Households can not afford bars to stop burglary.
Imagine a prison being institutional whatever next I ask you
Has somebody made this up ?
The bars are to keep the f&£ers inside!
I bet this guy is buzzing! isayyoubuyoneyougetonefree
Someone has money to burn. What a farce! That money should be used for the underfunded NHS or to pay teachers higher salaries.
Great incentive to be released when you can get housed for free 🤦🏻♀️
Aww bless em let them all out
The influx of cakes for inmates will decline as well then I imagine 🎂
Who the hell is running this country - prison is an institution - IS IT NOT What comes next a water park and go cart track and theme rides !!!!
Soon to be replaced with 30 foot Cuben fiber curtains with Hemp tiebacks and complimentary stuffed Teady bears in backpacks so when they flee the unsecured premises, they will never feel alone. Gee, makes me all warm and snuggly.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha They’ll be puttin phones in cells next... oh wait erm... Fuck!
Ridiculous they will be staying in hotels drinking beer soon!
WTF ... I guess they want the place to look like a holiday camp !! ITS A PRISON
What will they be replacing them with? Flowers?
How about French doors and a hot tub ?
Just remove the letters,'HMP' from the front door,replace it with 'Butlins'?
Absolute joke , next it will be no walls
We should bring back tougher measures fucking snowflakes & tree huggers, if you in prison you should be made to work on chain gangs cleaning up this country, no TV no games consoles , one film on a weak end for hard work & good behaviour
Is that not the point
What with modern prisons resembling nothing so much as hotels and our everyday life becoming highly expensive and problematic these days, being 'inside' is turning out to be far more comfortable than struggling to eke out a living 'outside'.
2020 More prison escapees wonderwhy
Really!
WTF
Institutional? No shit? 😁😁😁
It’s not meant to be a hotel 🤬
What next smaller walls
Why don’t the government just send them to Butlins !
It’s supposed to be ‘institutional’ it’s a prison where people go when they commit crimes it’s not supposed to be CenterParcs ffs, if you don’t want to be behind bars don’t commit crimes and if you do end up in prison just remember it’s your fault nobody else’s
What about some nice blackout blinds to protect their delicate eyes from the sun. Or maybe some voiles? F F S!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez its prison..What they going to use a nice pair of net curtains🙄
StickingPaste FFS soon it will be divans,recliners and en suite
Good step in the right direction
Perhaps the report authors need to understand that the taking away of someone's liberty as a punishment also means removing any opertunity of escape as well ......
More Sky news lies!
Dont want prisoners thinking they are actually in jail! Hope they are double glazed and get room service. Wish I could go to USA
Institutional ? Jails with bars who would have gussed 😳
Give the removed bars to the public, they can attach them to their windows and prevent burglaries. Keep the numbers down in prison. Win win.
😝🤣😝. This country is gone nuts
The UK, the nanny state. I suppose they will need double glazing with windows that open so they can collect the drone deliveries.
Won’t be long until we have star rated prisons with waitor service to spare criminals feelings, Ridiculous
Please tell me theyre going to replace the bars with something?
Lenny Henry will be doing adverts for short stays soon.
Should brick them up then & give them no light, they are in there for a reason... this country is getting to soft..
Is a prison NOT an institution
Couldn’t make this up it’s prison . Other nations laugh at how soft the UK are towards offenders . This is hardly a deterrent I’d like to see our prisons similar to the Chinese or Russian systems.
Does removing the bars take away the institutional quality? I think not.
WTF
Yes. I agree brick them up 😆
The world is mad! Really!
O for God's sake !!!!
Bring back hard labour.
And effective Yep if something is used to much & works, you better stop using it. Because it's 'institutional' What can be used to replace bars, without immediately becoming institutional also... oops? Wait, are prisons institutional? 🤔
Pc world is great
If you read the article it actually says they’ll be replaced with toughened glass that is more effective in stopping them getting hold of drugs etc!, it’s hardly a bonus or liberal insanity is it?.
Just put them up in 5 star hotels and have tax payers feed and cloth them in best of gear!! FFS they deserve nothing they are criminals. When is this country going to learn! 😡
It's a prison
WHY ? Its a prison NOT a hotel.
It's a proper joke this country at the minute.
next they will outlaw bolts on the doors...
Why not just phase out prisons as well? Are they not also ' institutional'?
Ah, how nice. They’ll probably have some beautiful double glazing installed resulting in a terrific view of the park. Do wrong, but don’t worry - put your feet up and relax during your punishment. Absolute cock trumpets.
Seems reasonable Inmates are likely to feel caged in No one likes that It’s unpleasant
I agree we should just brick them up so they have no windows at all
Yes it’s a prison it’s menat to be institutional
Is today april fools day ?
Really? What is happening to this world? The people are in prison for a reason, they broke our laws. They need to be punished, not pandered too. This country which I used to be proud of is going to shite, sadly neither the current government or the other shower of shite can fix
Holy f**cking S**te baws! When are the guards going to change their names to concierges? Start delivering a newspaper every morning & getting the cleaners in! 5* food service at the price of the tax payer! They’re criminals, treated better than the homeless!
Oh dear shall we have opening double glazing and in case of emergency every window has an emergency escape ladder and some nice curtains..
Why don’t ya just not av any prison guards and no locks on doors while you at it think I might get locked up too
They’ll be getting curtains next.
I suggest you take out shares in Drones,
Just change the names to Haven Prison Camps 🙈👎🏻
🤣🤣
redsince77 This country gets worse.
Brick up the windows.....
Making it easy for burglars 😉
Maybe this decision could be reconsidered. If the bars shouldn’t be in place to ensure prisoners can’t escape and potentially prevent violent offenders getting out, maybe bars could remain to prevent crooks breaking into prison in order to steal drugs?
Isn't that the idea?
Nice floral curtains would be better
They will be putting up pretty curtains next ,and adding room service. You couldn't make it up.
What they going to replace them with? A rope ladder incase they want to nip out for a Dommeeeeedos 😂
FFS you will be leaving a key under the mat next so they pop out to the local boozer
Yeah to be fair we should make prison lovely places so those who prey on the vulnerable look forward to going back . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Of course they are Prisons are meant to be institutional. Now we know why we have an explosion of knife crime burglaries and violent crimes. No one is punished instead rewarded in comfy rooms not cells. Disgusting.
🤦🏼♀️
It’s supposed to be. Are these people stupid
Why not give them a minimum wage while they do time too, surely crime doesn’t pay enough already as Prison’s aren’t full enough yet. 🤦🏻♂️
Bloody disgraceful
A prison is institution. It serves as a place to punish those who have breached the laws of our country. Don't break the law and you won't find yourself behind bars. More bars the better
Next you will hear that they stay home 😁😁😁
More nutters on the loose then...!🤔😖
They’ll be having there beds turned down and A little figure of a swan on the pillow next...
FFS!
Of course they're institutional, it's a a prison FFS.
This nonsense never stops.
What about Hens barshens
Just open the gates and let them all walk out! shiteBritain
What next DoubleGlazing.
They need a vacation as well. It's their right.
Who comes up with this shit..
That's cos there are in an institution ffs
Oh Look, more acts which the Traitors are putting through.
Prison is not meant to be a picnic surely.
Ffs. You mist be joking..
Give them keys aswell
