Fodder for the red tops

Tabloid editors up and down the country are undoubtedly squealing with glee at revelations in today's Independentthat, with British prisons full to bursting and the Home Secretary John Reid already being blasted for his penal polices, Mr. Reid is drawing up plans for a "offend now, serve later" system of waiting lists.
