Prisoners must be put to work
The government will put more prisoners to work in an attempt to rehabilitate a “growing feral underclass” blamed for the riots that swept through England two months ago, justice secretary Ken Clarke said yesterday. Clarke won backing for his plan from a group of business executives led by Sir Richard Branson, chairman of travel and entertainment company Virgin Group. “I want to see hard work flourishing in every single jail in the UK,” Clarke said.
