Society’s Rightly Ostracised Scum Want Pizza.

After the last prison riot in Hobart ended ‘peacefully’, with the State turning over pizza to convicted criminals, the Tasmanian prison system was put back into fine form, right?

Wrong.

Another 'protest' has broken out at Risdon Prison over ‘substandard conditions’

Despite the fact that the prisoners are locked down, and have no hostages- staff or otherwise- “negotiations” are already underway.

What is to negotiate?

These people are convicted criminals- society’s rightly ostracised scum and vermin. The only negotiation should be between custodial officers and State police, to decide who will storm the cons, and beat the living s*** out of them.

The real (ALP controlled) State, however, has no doubt decided already to appease these criminals. A spokesman had this to say:

"All that [the Criminal scum have] got with them are the contents of their cells. I believe they have asked for some takeaway food, I think it was pizza."

This shouldn’t have even had time to get into the news before someone took control of the situation.

UPDATE: WMD’s used to put down Risdon scum.

“The inmates had been making demands involving nutrition and the packaging of food, exercise activity and dental treatment”, according to a spokesman.

The state of dental care in Tasmania is dismal. Convicted criminals should be the lowest priority.

We’ll (try and remember to) post on the letters to the editor section of tomorrow’s Mercury.

‘Dickensian’ Prison.

‘Prisoners rebelling’.

UPDATE II:

UTAS’ Dr Caroline Evans notes that Risdon Prison is “very uncomfortable”, and not at all suited to the local Tasmanian climate (beautiful one day, stormy the next).

The little inmate Intifida must be a result of the weather, eh?
