Treat Criminals With Respect & Dignity?

An article in the Daily Telegraph reports that Minister for Prisons, David Hanson, has stated that prisoners should not be referred to as 'inmates' as it may cause 'offense!

Well Mr. Hanson, Prisons Minister or Idiot Minister (take your pick), it may have escaped your notice that these people are convicts and as such, having broken the laws of society, have forfeited any right to respect and dignity; as have you by such a stupid, politically-correct suggestion!

And if that is hard to swallow Mr. Hanson - then choke on it!
