Alarm at further plans to house criminal suspects near family homes – More controversial bail hostels to be imposed by Labour without consultation as prisons overflow
3rd February 2009 Concern was raised today at Government plans to expand the use of controversial bail hostels – effectively small open prisons – in residential neighbourhoods. The hostels, used to house early release prisoners and criminal suspects, are being opened across the country by Labour Ministers because of insufficient prison places. They hostels are being imposed on local communities without consultation. Commenting on the new bail house scandal, Reading East MP, Rob Wilson, said, “Today, bail is too easily granted, frequently breached and weakly enforced. Now, because Labour Ministers have failed to provide enough prison capacity, they have devised a covert plan to set up mini open-jails in residential areas, avoiding any consultation with the public. I am continuing to resist these bail houses being placed in completely inappropriate places in my constituency. I will be asking both the local authority and the Police to clarify their position with regard to this matter.” “This is not a responsible way to assist offenders, who receive minimal supervision and support, when what they need is a long-term programme of resettlement. “Conservatives will immediately suspend this programme. In place of these clumsy emergency measures, we need a proper programme of prison reform to focus on rehabilitation and ensure that public safety and confidence is maintained,” he concluded. |
