And rightfully so, I should hope.
Unnecessary comment I think, lots of these "children" (under 15's cannot be classified as adults) have probably either not committed a crime or certainly not one where they would receive a long sentence if committed in a civilised country, with a proper judicial system.
To put things in perspective, some of the Yemeni Capital Punishment crimes include adultery, sexual misconduct, prostitution and homosexuality. The Yemen has one of the highest execution rates in the world. Capital punishment is typically carried out by shooting, although stoning remains a legally viable option for charges of adultery.
Hardly comparable to Thailand

Anything ILLEGAL NULLIFIES the OSA anyway as far as i know
genuine question i AM mystified i cannot think of anything legal
A simple answer Sargeant in that all Crown Servants are required to sign the Act prior to employment.

Screwed: The Truth About Life as a Prison Officer is a non-fiction book written by ex-prison officer-turned-author Ronnie Thompson (a pseudonym
Is this author and ex screw being hounded down by the Govt for breaching the OSA...I think not!!!
Do you think that you are the only one on this Forum that has signed the OSA??..I think you will find there are many, myself included.
How do reach the conclusion that I am a "hand-wringing God-botherer"
The clue is in this snippet.
You got me there Mr.MacKay
and if it`s true surely it shows a smidgin of humanitarianism, would you prefer thay stay in chains?
I would also conclude, from your various diatribes, that you are a member of the fairer sex.
Please quote my "various diatribes". Your conclusions are way off the mark Sherlock.
Obviously a prison officer`s job is not an easy one, and fair play to you for sticking at it for 30 years. I had several school friends who became prison officers, they finished their studies with no academic qualifications and were turned down by the police and armed services so I guess the Prison Service were willing to take all those attracted by a uniform.

That's very true, but very few of us have anything to share that would cause the Govt. any discomfort. I suspect that many such abuses of the Act are actually welcomed.
C'mon Sarge, you should know better than to ask somebody to broach matters covered by the OSA on a public forum, especially if they are out of their comfort zone. Please give nanyang and the OSA the respect they deserve, and if you really want know, use the PM system.
BB i myself am still under the OSA as a squaddie and i can think of a large amount of information that i could not nor would I ever divulge it
but quote me
i for the life of me cannot think of ANYTHING LEGAL that you could NOT inform us of.
OK so its procedures that the public are better off not knowing about.
and i agree BB this is about THAI PRISONS and the removing of shackles Nanyang had his say and up to a point i can see where he is coming from but it leaves a hole when its
Now you lot listen to what i say but i cannot tell you why.--
To me if you cannot explain your point dont make it in the first place
If nanyang believes he would be breaching the OSA, then we have to respect that on a public forum. Discussion is pointless. If you need to know more, contact him privately, and he may, or may not divulge his secrets.
please.
