The article linked to above, a photo of a warder climbing green starts. Text reads Deporting jail staff for earning too little will fuel crisis, minister warns Prisons rely heavily on foreign workers who won’t make enough to meet strict new criteria Jails face a collapse in staff numbers unless the government makes emergency changes to new visa rules that will affect foreign guards, a Labour minister has warned the home secretary. Lord Timpson has lobbied Shabana Mahmood to exempt prisons from rules introduced over the summer that raise the threshold for a skilled worker visa to £41,700 a year. The average salary for most prison workers outside London falls short of the threshold — the starting figure for new recruits is about £33,000 — so those who seek to renew their visas will automatically be refused. The Home Office has already begun notifying prisons that any foreign staff on time-bound visas that have expired must immediately stop working.

“Here is a thought-experiment: imagine that you have asked some mischievous demon to conceive the most counter-productive way of dealing with crime. What fiendish scheme would this diabolic agent devise? “The demon could suggest a system where offenders are kept together with more serious and experienced criminals for months or years, and so can learn from them; where the offender is taken away from any gainful employment and social support or family network; where the offender is put in places where drugs and brutality are rife; where the infliction of a penalty can make the offender more, and not less, likely to re-offend; and where all this is done at extraordinary expense for the taxpayer. “A system, in other words, very much like the prison system we now have in England and Wales, as well as in many other jurisdictions.”
