New Super Prisons
 
a £2.7 billion program to build 3 super prisons holding 2500 prisoners each.

£360 000 for each prisoner...
Probably just worth giving them the cash and telling them not to cause trouble!

but presumably more than 2500 people will stay in each of the prisons during the life of the prisons

I wonder what the reoffending figures are though...

2.7 billion is such a huge amount of money!

Short term its £360000 per prisoner. Long term after 20+ years it a worthy investment in my opinion.

There will be massive running costs with it though. Prisons are not a solution, they've never been proven to work.

Gordons £0.02p a litre on fuel duty created more than double that amount of money.

Revenue of fuel duty and road tax was somewhere in the region of £40 billion so I don't think that can be right. Maybe we need more prisons; I'd rather have less offenders.
