LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
PENAL POLICY
Now that Parliament is to consider giving voting rights to inmates of UK gaols, it is perhaps time to consider what form any representation should take.
With the present prison population of the UK currently far exceeding the former electorate of the Universities Parliamentary Constituencies which were abolished in 1950, perhaps it might be best if Prison Parliamentary Constituencies were set up to deal with the needs of prisoners. Certainly, I cannot see many existing MPs wishing to take on a larger case load of constituents now that so much more time and care is going to be needed in filling in their expenses claim forms now that these are to be made public.
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
