Nigel Farage has said violent UK offenders could be jailed overseas under his plans to cut crime by half.
The Reform UK leader named El Salvador as a likely destination, though he said he has not held conversations with officials there and “multiple” partners would be considered.
El Salvador is home to a notorious mega-prison, the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
Yeah we need a long arse conversation about what a “violent offender” is. An offender of the UK law is obvious enough, although I would prefer offenders of humanist and ethical laws to be the focus. “Violent” in my opinion should only be used to refer to individuals who are a persistent danger to others, despite attempts to rehabilitate. For example, someone who defies state law to protect others in a way that isn’t harmful to anyone does not qualify as violent under the humanist law. Neither do individuals whose only claim to state legal scrutiny is their skin pigmentation.
