Construction of his prison is really about to begin.
Tom's prison plan is a coincidence. Britain has had some financial difficulties in recent years and needs to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This private prison plan is very popular with ministers. The only concern is that it is a prison for serious criminals.
, one or two things still need to be carefully considered, but with Yuri helping to smoothen the relationship, this doesn't seem to be a problem.
Coincidentally, the House of Lords and Commons have been distracted by the cabinet reshuffle recently, so they won't get involved too much - Tom's prison is still under the banner of "human rights"!
His partner Yuri claimed that the prison's internal security facilities are complete and will be one of the most difficult to escape prisons in the world after completion. However, the prisoners held inside also have considerable free space to exercise and read in various facilities.
, part-time work and other activities.
This is very appetizing to those fat-headed congressmen.
The trend in Britain is a bit strange recently. There are more and more people calling for "prisoners' human rights". They don't consider what evil these people have done, they will just blindly ask for their treatment to be improved. It seems that prisoners live better in prison.
It's like being comfortable can help them go to heaven.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and this trend will only become more exaggerated in the future. For example, Halden Prison in Norway was built in 2010, took 10 years, and cost 252 million U.S. dollars. The prison system focuses on human rights. Here, prisoners’
Citizens can still enjoy treatment, such as medical care. The living conditions of prisoners inside can catch up with the citizens of most developing countries.
More than 450 acres of forest are preserved around the prison, covering the walls, and 12 acres of natural woodland are preserved inside the prison. Flowers are planted in the woods, and there are walking and jogging trails and wooden chairs, making the prison look like a big garden. If
If I don’t tell you, you would most likely think this is some high-end resort.
In this prison, each prisoner lives alone in a room with a flat-screen TV, a mini refrigerator and a separate, clean and tidy bathroom. Well, the master bedroom has its own bathroom and good lighting...
How many workers rent houses that are inferior to these prison cells?
In addition, there are a variety of free snacks, ice cream and drinks, and there is even a dental clinic equipped with advanced equipment in the prison.
What's even more outrageous is that the prisoners there are all serious criminals, and their crimes are mostly murder, prostitution and trafficking...
If such a person is used as spiritual food for dementors, he will also suffer some mental burden.
Tom said he couldn't understand the extremely high treatment given to these scumbags. What could the money be used for, other than building a seven-star prison?
Tom thought it would be great if all the scum in Europe could be sent to his prison to serve their sentences. Unfortunately, all this was just wishful thinking on his part. The prison he wanted to build didn't even have the drawings ready.
Woolen cloth!
What's more interesting is that Tom also has an unexpected help.

London, Office of the Minister for Administrative Services
"Humphrey, this is so shocking!" Huck held his glasses in one hand and stared at a document with the other hand, looking very engrossed.
"Minister?" A well-dressed middle-aged man stood in front of Minister Harker holding a black document bag. He looked a little confused. He didn't know what his minister was going crazy about. This man was Harker's permanent secretary Humphreys.
Sir Ly Appleby is also the man behind the entire department.
"I mean, the state's expenditure on prisoners is really staggering - one destroyer is burned a year! And the number is increasing rapidly." Huck threw the document on the desk and rubbed it feebly.
Rub your forehead.
"So?" Sir Humphrey was not in a hurry to express his attitude, but wanted to hear Huck's opinion. Today he could be said to be well prepared.
Some time ago, an alumnus of his at Oxford introduced a successful international freight forwarder to him. He and the rich man named Yuri hit it off and had a great conversation.
As a friend, Yuri sincerely invited Humphrey to join his business - private prison. After getting to know it a little bit, Humphrey felt that this business seemed to be very good, and it was a sure-fire business. So he readily agreed and
A report was stuffed into the minister's file box.
That report was the annual prison expense report. He believed that Huck would not remain indifferent after seeing it.
Sure enough, Huck was caught by this report like a fish on a bait.
"Prison is a place for reforming prisoners, and it is an institution that exists to punish them. How can it be so extravagant and wasteful? The money spent by the prisoners here every year is almost as much as my living expenses." Huck did not notice that Hanfer
Lai's conspiracy, he complained to himself.
"Prisoners should be allowed to work hard in prison, and their labor should be used to pay for their living expenses."
"Minister, if I hadn't known that you didn't graduate from Oxford, I would have suspected that you were a Soviet spy." Sir Humphrey complained.
Huck:???
"The cost of prisoners in the Soviet Union is not high. They like to send prisoners to the Siberian wilderness to grow potatoes--or corn in some years. I believe that if you follow the Soviet Union's approach, you will be able to keep the cost down. Let me think about it, you
You can choose the location in Scotland and let the prisoners fish to support themselves. It’s a courageous decision.”
Huck heard Sir Humphrey's eccentric spirit and grasped two key words: Soviet Union and courage.
This is simply poison to politicians like him, and the consequences will be endless.
He trembled and almost wanted to abandon the thoughts in his mind. However, after a while, perhaps due to the reproach of his conscience, he tentatively asked Humphrey: "What about Sir Humphrey?
Is there a way that we can be less Soviet, less aggressive, but enough to cut prisoner costs?"
Humphrey was waiting for his words. Just now, he was worried that he had gone too far, which directly extinguished the minister's idea of cutting funds. Fortunately, Huck finally spoke.
"Of course, minister." Humphrey pretended to think for a while and gave his own strategy.
"Private prison?" Huck looked incredulous, "How did these two words come together?"
After learning about it in detail, Huck suddenly discovered that private prisons are really a good thing! It saves money and trouble without taking over the blame.
Once I give the money to the contractor, these prisoners will have nothing to do with me from now on, which is perfect.
What's even better is that this set of tricks has been used across the ocean for a long time, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
"Very good, then let's also try to privatize prisons." Huck made up his mind.
"Yes, Minister." A smile appeared on Humphrey's lips.
