Sex In Prisons – You Must Be Joking!

New Zealanders will be aghast to learn that the Corrections Minister wants criminals to be able to enjoy a sex life while in prison said New Zealand First Law and Order Spokesman, Ron Mark, today.

Mr Mark described the move towards giving prison inmates all the pleasures of relationships while in jail flies in the face of 92% of New Zealand who voted for harsher penalties.

“There are many victims of crime who are worse off than the criminals who offended against them, and now Mr Robson wants to reward these thugs with conjugal rights.

“There is anger within the community already about the extraordinary lengths that touchy, feely politicians go to improve the lives of offenders while victims are left to pick up the pieces of their lives,” said Mr Mark.

He said that he would be immediately asking the Prime Minister to bring an end to the nonsense proposed by the Corrections Minister.

“New Zealanders will not stand for this.” Mr Mark said.
