Offender Management
Our criminals we must remove
From society's delicate sight;
And any small chance to improve
Is a privilege and not a right.
There's little point giving the bums
Much chance at rehabilitation
When you and your corporate chums
Might profit from incarceration.
Just bang 'em up, then let 'em rot,
Keep 'em uneducated and bored;
Privatise, then repeat till you've got
All the taxpayer-mugs can afford.
When crooks on the outside are free
To treat the confined ones this way,
How wondrous it is, then, to see
How civilised we are today.

It's quite a reversal in modern (i.e., 18th century, rehashed) penal policy: keep the tabloids onside by locking people up and not throwing the book at them.

That's a bit unfair, I think. You can throw all the books you want (up to a limit of twelve), provided they have been borrowed from the closed library or bought from the prisoner's pittance, rather than sent in from outside.
