Human Rights gone too far!

The announcement today that the Home Office is to pay prisoners compensation for them having to go cold turkey whilst in prison is totally the wrong signal to send out.

The claimants have claimed it is a breach of their human rights to be forced to go cold turkey!

Since when is being forced to obey the law a breach of human rights?

This clearly shows that human rights has gone too far. Added to this is the fact you’re not supposed to be able to profit from crime. These claimants seem to have done very nicely.

This could open the door to a whole wave of claims from any prisoner who’s lawyer suggests could make a claim. I await the adverts, “Have you been imprisoned in the last 5 years… You could be entitled to compensation…”
