An inmate is frustrating prison bosses by refusing to leave jail - two years after serving his time.
There must be some little island somewhere they could drop him off on. Comply with the law as much as possible. Since he won’t give his name or his home country, assume he is a citizen of no country. Thus a bird dropping covered rock somewhere in the North Sea should suffice.
It is true that over here, the scumbags get the gate when they “max out,” and some progress has been made toward tracking our rapidly-swelling horde of illegal immigrant inmates.
It is also true, however, that recidivists are legion. Statutes for habitual felons, violent habitual felons, “three-strikes-and-out,” etc. have done some good, but a great deal more remains to be done. Sex offenders are tracked to a certain extent, but again, a great deal more remains to be done.
However, the usual suspects always get in the way of what needs to be done. Existing advances were made against their will, and they attack those advances when and as they can. This has naturally won them a tremendous reservoir of support behind the walls, as you can imagine. It represents a not inconsiderable block of potential votes.....
Last time I was on Dartmoor (recreation only) there was no one in stripy uniform breaking granite with sledge hammers

Drew the island you refer to is called Rockall
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockall
Kind of uncomfortable in the winter though. Still we could make him King! ps don’t tell the Irish but there is reputed to be a vast amount of oil not to far from Rockall so if we did make him King he would be rich especially as he would have nowhere to spend it.
Seriously though if you give me five minutes alone with the sob I am fairly certain we could find out where he’s from!
Though if it turns out he is from say Somalia our yooman rights laws (Thanks to Bliar) would prevent him being deported. Or if he comes from an EU country his sentence has to be at least 2 years before they will consider deportation.
Britain is sunk i’m afraid. Unless a party comes along that promises to tear up our EU membership and consign the laws enacted in the past ten years to the rubbish bin of history. Britain will go down the pan.
Speaking of islands, a pity that Devil’s Island is no longer in business. But it would be too good for most of the rabble who should be sent there.
And why should he WANT to leave a “modern” prison? 3 hots and a cot, education, medical care, hells bells. Whole lot better than having to get out there, work, pay bills, come ON!
