  • Originally broadcast on Monday 25th April 1977, this episode of World in Action discusses the imprisonment of 4,000 under-17's in British prisons.
    The Prisoner Solidarity Network is a group of people committed to dismantling the criminal justice system and building a society based on collective care. Our members include people inside and outside of prisons. Some of us are ex-prisoners and some are children, partners, or friends of people inside. Many of us are survivors of interpersonal and state violence. Some of us come to this work through our values rather than direct experience of the prison system.

    We want to build a society where conflicts can be resolved without resorting to imprisonment and punishment, where our relationships with each other are not shaped by capitalism and where we are not divided by race, class, or gender.

    The simple solution for teenagers is the army…. Not the British army, create a new army run by ex British army staff and make proper men out of them with the option of a learning career (mechanic’s, drivers, fitters) etc: in the British army when their sentence is complete.
    Those in custody who refuse this option, should be held and put to work on community service (picking up rubbish or clearing ditches) daily.
    Letting them lay about all day playing gaming consoles is never going to work…

    They do the crime. They must do the time. Prison should not have tvs or radio. A bible is enough.
