UK: Islamist Inmates Complain Jail Walls Are Too High To See Horizon, Prison Bosses Agree With Them…

Only in the UK.

(Daily Mail) — Suspected terrorists are complaining about a fence around the exercise yard in their high-security prison which restricts their view of the horizon.

The alleged extremists are locked up while the Government tries to remove them from the country.

But the inmates have complained the limited view is damaging their eyesight, a prison inspection report revealed.

And astonishingly, inspectors accepted their complaints, criticising the cladding put around the edge of the exercise yard because it stops the men seeing into the distance.

They men are being held in the detainee unit at Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire and are prevented from mixing with other inmates.

Some months ago, prison bosses offered to allow them to join activities involving paedophiles and rapists who are isolated from the rest of the prison for their own protection.

But this was rejected because the terror suspects feared they would be ‘stigmatised’ by being seen with the sex offenders.

The report recommended removing the cladding so the prisoners have a clear view into the outside world.

Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick said: ‘While detainees’ treatment and conditions were satisfactory in some respects, too little attention was paid to their uniquely isolated and uncertain position.’

The report added: ‘For most of the time, detainees were confined to the unit and largely deprived of contact with the range of people that was possible for convicted prisoners in the main prison.

    Don.’t say, “Only in the UK” too quickly. It’ll be world-wide pretty soon.

    And by the way, if you’re in prison it’s because you’ve committed a crime against humanity, which means some humans don’t get to see sunrise ever again. Get used to it. And shut up. Any prison officials who give this a second thought need to be replaced. Prison isn’t meant to be pretty. Let ‘em paint a sunrise in the exercise gym.

    They locked up suspected Muslim terrorists in the Al-UK? You’re kidding me, right? I thought they sign up their Muslim terrorists for all kinds of bennies like free room and board! Who knew?

    They are alleged extremists awaiting deportation. They are NOT there to socialize. They are NOT there to enjoy the views of the lovely British countryside.They are in prison. Prison was never intended to be pleasant. I worked detainee (couldn’t call them prisoners) ops in Iraq. About 60 of the nastiest of the nasties were held in a 100 x 100ft quad with 20ft high concertina wire covered hesco barrier walls. No horizen for them. Too damn bad.
    The part about the limited view is damaging to their eyesight is pure bullshit. But some sensitive soul believed it. If the want to see long distances for the health of their eyes, they cen look straight up. Infinity must be healthier than the horizen.

    I used to feel sorry for the Brits…with their massive influx of mooslimes and other unsavories…but no more! The Brits get everything that is coming to them due to their stupid multi~kulti socialist governing philosophy! If they agree that the prisoners need to see the horizon, then simply duct tape two three foot 2X4′s to their lower legs…then kick their satanic asses out into the exercise yard and see how long they can balance up before they become prone. Do this five times per day! Sooner or later they will quit complaining.

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. ” limited view is damaging to their eyesight” Ask a Submariner that can’t look more than 50 feet if it damages your eyes. Hell no, the eyes adjust to sunlight and distance in about 5 minutes after being submerged for months.

    In England:
    Victims of aggression who defend themselves or attempt to protect their property have been shown no such leniency. Burglars who injured themselves breaking into houses have successfully sued homeowners for damages. In February, police in Surrey told gardeners not to put wire mesh on the windows of their garden sheds as burglars might hurt themselves when they break in.If a homeowner protecting himself and his family injures an intruder beyond what the law considers “reasonable,” he will be prosecuted for assault. Tony Martin, an English farmer, was sentenced to life in prison for killing one burglar and wounding another with a shotgun during the seventh break-in at his rural home in 1999. While his sentence was later reduced to five years, he was refused parole in 2003 because he was judged a danger to burglars.
    In 2008, a robber armed with a knife attacked shopkeeper Tony Singh in West Lancashire. During the struggle the intruder was fatally stabbed with his own knife. Although the robber had a long record of violent assault, prosecutors were preparing to charge Mr. Singh with murder until public outrage stopped them.

    Muslims object to the religious symbols on the Union Jack. The UK removes the flags of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick and are left with a white rag. Fitting.

    @PatriotLady

    If you’d bother to read before posting, the article clearly states they are terror “suspects”. In other words they’ve been sitting in prison for 11 years, and the government still doesn’t have the evidence to show that they have anything to do with “actual” terrorists.
