How much would it cost to recommission this prison as an illegal migrant detention centre? I guarantee if you did the boats would stop in a week.

Nothing, it looks perfectly adequate for illegals as it is.

Looks perfect for the task already .

Get the illegals to sweep the floors. No tv, no gaming consoles. Nothing.

APPARANTLY it's got gases in it this is why it can't be used I'm well up for it being used

Wtf, & there I was saying to build new prisons when we've got an empty one! This is absolutely perfect for Pedophiles & foreign m*rderers! And there's no need to repaint it, just stick the f*cking monsters in there with bread & water & leave them

@ElContador2000 Dartmoor prison is also empty. It is owned by prince William and he gets 1.5 million per annum from HMO in rental income. 🤬

get the inmates to do the work, it's just painting and cleaning.

Leave it as it is , no comforts nothing

It's already far better than the squalid camps they live in in France.

It's good to go. A bit of razor wire then throw the doors open.

@ElContador2000 Theoretically the invaders have broken the law so should be punished accordingly.

It would cost nothing under RESTORE its better than a tent in france 🇫🇷

Great ideas , make the young fighting age men do the work .👍🇬🇧

We could let them clean it up themselves if they wanted to while they stay there … but I bet they wouldn’t!

About as much as opening an old army base 🤔🧐🤨

Its fine as it is, reopen,and start sending the first bunch of illegals there.

3 prison stand empty it's bull shit they want us dead 🚨 On the king WEF orders 🚨💔🇬🇧

I’m sorry to burst your bubble but until they’ve been processed the people arriving here are not illegal. It was decided that if we needed to escape from our country of birth for whatever reason we have the right to seek asylum in any country that signed up to the agreement.

They are escaping France you mug.

I get your sentiment, however, the way things are currently with releasing prisoners early, pathetic custodial sentences and indeed no sentences at all, I think this place should be REOPENED as a PRISON! We need more prisons so that victims can actually see some kind of justice!

Get the illegal migrants in & then put them to work sorting out the grounds & painting & decorating the inside. No going out of tue pridon grounds. That would take care of the upkeep of the buildings & grounds & if this becomes a plan, the boats would soon stop coming.

@GregJ1966 They could, but it’s not in their interests to do so.

Razor wire the perimeter, fill it with the INVADERS ,and stop them living in local communities, walking round free Raping and murdering pur women and Girls.

you need more beds... there wont be enough people in each room, they like it packed, just like the boats...

Put them in there as it is!

It would almost certainly cost less than the UK is currently paying France to stop them (and failing miserably)

So when the early release scheme comes in Labour's plan for stopping the boats will suceed

Don't be ridiculous

Don't you know Labour's plan for stopping the boats?

Must be so many abandoned buildings they could be placed in to have their claim assessed.. then deported straight from there. Kept within the grounds. No roaming freely to rape and murder. So many solutions. Not 1 politician suggesting any.

Its fine as it is, get em in there!

It is fine as it is tbh

No need for any improvements unless for the safety of the staff. The clients are used to living in shite

@grok how much would it cost and could the gases be extracted

Looks good to go 👍 start piling them in already @metpoliceuk

Excellent excellent idea 👍

Since 2010, 23 full prisons have been permanently closed in England and Wales, removing 7,519 prison places. We've got the places they don't want to use them
