		<description><![CDATA[I have been saying that we need to send hardened criminals overseas for a while. Being in a hardcore prison in a foreign country will make a bigger impact than going to Westgate. They won&#039;t see family very often, they don&#039;t know/aren&#039;t friends with the inmates, conditions are worse, etc. The cost side is another benefit. Why would we spend 80k a year here when we can save 75% of that cost and put it towards the debt the government has created. Sounds like a no brainer to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes he might have been but I agree with Buzz that was uncalled for with obvious reference to slavery. I do not condone this type of talk as a white Bermudian more need to do the same but you can only change yourselves. 

As far as sending these guys off island think we could do it to a country where we are not sending the key witnesses to their crimes though? Just saying.

		<description><![CDATA[Wouldn&#039;t it be nice to ship them off island! Mexico or another South American country sounds good at double the actual cost down there. They deserve to make some money off the deal. Cuba sounds even better.

Never happen &amp; we all know it.

There is a local option. A prison ship. There is a prison barge, a huge thing, in NY, across the bay from La Guardia airport.

Moor something like that just inside the reefline way out by North Rock. There won&#039;t be any walking out to catch the bus, no worry about escapes. Sharks would be attracted to the area in no time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am thrilled about the idea of sending prisoners away. It will be a twofold success in that we will save money and it will help deter crime. The only thing I am concerned about is whether or not we will have prisoners to deport. The police are having a hard time finding and persecuting perpetrators of violent crime. Also, the laws that Bermuda has seem to protect the criminals or let them go off with lighter sentences than they deserve.If we do not have better laws or policing will we even be able to rid our beautiful paradise of the crimonals that are now holding law-abiding citizens hostage?!!?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look-I&#039;m black but let me say this: they aren&#039;t proposing shipping off &#039;black boys&#039;-they&#039;re suggesting shipping off hardened criminals. If those criminals end up being black, so be it. Don&#039;t even turn this into a racist thing. These guys have no problem putting themselves in &#039;chains&#039; or handcuffs, so don&#039;t try and make the Gov&#039;t look bad for doing the same thing. As much as the PLP gov&#039;t is getting on my nerves these days, I support the transfer of prisoners overseas 100 percent.

The only thing I would suggest is sending these prisoners to Jamaica. Once these little punks get wind that they could be sent there and away from their mommies, I&#039;ll bet we see crime plunge. Westgate is no deterrent and drastic times call for drastic measures! People say they&#039;ll come back hardened and bitter, I say they come back having learned a valuable lesson and will strive to stay out of trouble lest they get sent back there-the perfect deterrent!

If we can&#039;t send them to Jamaica, my next suggestion is Cuba. We seem really tight with them and they need the money so why not? We&#039;ve sent vehicles down there, we&#039;ve had cultural exchanges with them, etc. so why not send them our prisoners? People will say that it would piss off the U.S. but they even had their own terrorist prison camp there so it would be mighty hypocritical of them to condemn us for sending criminals there.

I really, really hope these people are serious about this. We need to do something drastic to shake these guys up and let them know we mean business, and that us law-abiding citizens won&#039;t be held hostage by their bullying tactics anymore!]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look-I&#8217;m black but let me say this: they aren&#8217;t proposing shipping off &#8216;black boys&#8217;-they&#8217;re suggesting shipping off hardened criminals. If those criminals end up being black, so be it. Don&#8217;t even turn this into a racist thing. These guys have no problem putting themselves in &#8216;chains&#8217; or handcuffs, so don&#8217;t try and make the Gov&#8217;t look bad for doing the same thing. As much as the PLP gov&#8217;t is getting on my nerves these days, I support the transfer of prisoners overseas 100 percent.</p>
<p>The only thing I would suggest is sending these prisoners to Jamaica. Once these little punks get wind that they could be sent there and away from their mommies, I&#8217;ll bet we see crime plunge. Westgate is no deterrent and drastic times call for drastic measures! People say they&#8217;ll come back hardened and bitter, I say they come back having learned a valuable lesson and will strive to stay out of trouble lest they get sent back there-the perfect deterrent!</p>
<p>If we can&#8217;t send them to Jamaica, my next suggestion is Cuba. We seem really tight with them and they need the money so why not? We&#8217;ve sent vehicles down there, we&#8217;ve had cultural exchanges with them, etc. so why not send them our prisoners? People will say that it would piss off the U.S. but they even had their own terrorist prison camp there so it would be mighty hypocritical of them to condemn us for sending criminals there.</p>
<p>I really, really hope these people are serious about this. We need to do something drastic to shake these guys up and let them know we mean business, and that us law-abiding citizens won&#8217;t be held hostage by their bullying tactics anymore!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This will never happen because the British prison system is already overflowing, and the British Government is tired of Bermuda.

You can&#039;t have it both ways Paula...either you want British support, in which case stop Minister Perinchief&#039;s absurd outbursts, or shut up and get on with solving the issues that make Westgate full.

How nice to see such wise and reflective words from our Governor last week, I&#039;m sure he would have loved to say - you know what Wayne, screw you, see how you get on without EU passports, Scotland Yard and Waitrose at Supermart. But he didn&#039;t and hats off to him.]]></description>

These prisoners have families and kids in Bermuda and no government is going to send them away. 

If these guys are sent away and not able to see their family, especially their kids, for many years....they will return to Bermuda very bitter and angry....and likely to cause more trouble.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another BS statement by our ineffective government. The UK has an overwhelming number of early releases due to prison overcrowding - FACT. Now HRH Cox has spouted off about a concept that SHE alone has in mind. There is no way the UK government would agree to this. Unlike here, their government has to compete for votes in the face of a viable oposition. Can you imagine the outrage at UK prisoners being released early while Bermudian prisoners take up space in British prisons? Kool Aid time again]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After doing some searching on the net, it would appear that Mexico, at around $4,000 a year, is one of the cheapest places to incarcerate an inmate. I understand that it costs us about $70,000 annually  to house a prisoner at Westgate. I say send them to Mexico and save ourselves $66,000 per prisoner per year. Of course, there is the travel expense, but that would be a very small percentage of the difference in costs!]]></description>
