Dolly.2, this is a bit like the call for conscription to begin again. The idea always seems good but in reality it will not work. Human rights and the EU would prevent it from happening anyway and the call, from the thugs and people who were arrested, for justice would receive first attention over and above the police and prison staff who had to do the job.

Military Prison? Just what is meant by this? Are you saying the the military personel who are place in prison have less rights than normal prisoners? The military is not what it was 50 years ago and prison now is not what you would think it is.

Bottom line is this - who will run, staff, maintain, pay for you new military prison? Please don't say it is the military that will get the job - we have insuficient to cope with the demands for "Policing Actions" and "Small Wars" around the world as it is and the new Defence Cuts will reduce that number so much that you will be lucky if you ever spot a military uniform again.

Are you suggesting the military run these "military prisons"? Do you not think the military is stretched enough as it is? With back to back tours in operational theatres for some military personnel, they do not have time to bring up their own children never mind having to bring up others' children.



The sentiment is a good one but it needs more thought (imho of course).
