The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"It's just a coincidence," Tom said with a smile.

Construction of his prison is really about to begin.

Tom's prison plan was a stroke of luck. Daying has had some financial difficulties in recent years and needs to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This private prison plan is very popular with the ministers. The only concern is that it is a prison for serious criminals. It needs to be seriously considered. However, with Yuri helping to smoothen the relationship, this does not seem to be possible. become a problem.

Coincidentally, the House of Lords and the House of Commons have also been distracted by the cabinet reshuffle recently, so they won't get involved too much - Tom's prison is still under the banner of "human rights"!

His partner Yuri claimed that the prison's internal security facilities are complete and will be one of the most difficult to escape prisons in the world after completion. However, the prisoners held inside also have considerable free space and can exercise and read in various facilities. , part-time work and other activities.

This is very appetizing to those fat-headed congressmen.

The trend in Britain is a bit strange recently. There are more and more people calling for "human rights for prisoners". They will not consider what evil these people have done, they will just blindly demand that their treatment be improved. As if making prisoners more comfortable in prison would help them get to heaven.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and this trend will only become more exaggerated in the future. For example, Halden Prison in Norway was built in 2010, taking 10 years and costing US$252 million. The prison system focuses on human rights, where prisoners still receive the benefits of citizenship, such as health care. The living conditions of the prisoners there are comparable to those of citizens in most developing countries.

More than 450 acres of forest are preserved around the prison, covering the walls, and 12 acres of natural woodland are preserved inside the prison. Flowers are planted in the woods, and there are walking and jogging paths and wooden chairs, making the prison look like a big garden. If I didn't tell you, you would most likely think this is some high-end resort.

In this prison, each inmate lives alone in a room with a flat-screen TV, a mini refrigerator and a separate, clean and tidy bathroom. Well, the master bedroom has its own bathroom and good lighting...

How many workers rent houses that are not as good as these prison cells?

In addition, there are a variety of free snacks, ice cream and drinks, and there is even a dental clinic equipped with advanced equipment in the prison.

What’s even more outrageous is that the prisoners there are all serious criminals, and their crimes are mostly murder, prostitution and trafficking...

This kind of person, if used as spiritual food for dementors, will also have some mental burden.

Tom said he couldn't understand the extremely high treatment given to these scum. Why should we use this money to build a seven-star prison?

Tom thought it would be great if all the scum in Europe could be sent to his prison to serve their sentences. Unfortunately, all this is just wishful thinking on his part. The prison he wanted to build didn't even have the drawings ready!

What's even more interesting is that Tom also has an unexpected help.

London, Office of the Minister for Administrative Services

"Humphrey, this is so shocking!" Huck held his glasses in one hand and stared at a document with the other hand, looking very engrossed.

"Minister?" A well-dressed middle-aged man stood in front of Minister Hacker holding a black document bag. He looked a little confused and didn't know what was going on with his minister. This man is Sir Humphrey Appleby, Harker's permanent secretary and the man behind the entire department.

"I mean, the state's expenditure on prisoners is really staggering - one destroyer is burned a year! And the number is increasing rapidly." Huck threw the document on the desk and rubbed it feebly. Rub your forehead.

"So?" Sir Humphrey was not in a hurry to express his attitude, but wanted to hear Huck's opinion. It can be said that he came prepared today.

Some time ago, an alumnus of his at Oxford introduced a successful international freight businessman to him. He and the rich man named Yuri hit it off and had a great conversation.

As a friend, Yuri sincerely invited Humphrey to join his business, a private prison. After getting to know it a little bit, Humphrey felt that this business seemed to be very good, and it was a sure-profit business. So he readily agreed and stuffed a report into the minister's file box.

That report is the annual prison spending report. He believed that Huck would not remain indifferent after seeing it.

Sure enough, Huck was caught by this report like a fish on a bait.

"Prison is a place for reforming prisoners, and it is an institution that exists to punish them. How can it be so extravagant and wasteful? The money spent by the prisoners here every year is almost as much as my living expenses." Huck did not notice that Humphrey Lai's conspiracy, he complained to himself.

"Prisoners should be allowed to work hard in prison, and their labor should be used to pay for their living expenses."

"Minister, if I hadn't known that you didn't graduate from Oxford, I would have suspected that you were a Soviet spy." Sir Humphrey complained.

Huck:? ? ?

"The cost of prisoners in the Soviet Union is not high. They like to send prisoners to the Siberian wilderness to grow potatoes--or corn in some years. I believe that if you follow the Soviet Union's approach, you will be able to keep the cost down. Let me think about it, you The location could have been chosen in Scotland and the prisoners could fish to support themselves. It was a courageous decision.”

Huck heard Sir Humphrey's eccentricity and grasped two key words: the Soviet Union and courage.

This is simply poison for politicians like him, and it will cause endless troubles.

He shuddered and almost wanted to throw away the thoughts in his head. But after a while, perhaps due to his conscience, he tentatively asked Humphrey: "Sir Humphrey, can we be less Soviet and less courageous, but enough to reduce What about the way prisoners spend their money?”

Humphrey was waiting for his words. Just now, he was still worried in his mind whether he had gone too far and directly extinguished the minister's idea of ​​cutting funds. Fortunately, Huck finally spoke.

"Of course, minister." Humphrey pretended to think for a moment and gave his strategy.

"Private prison?" Huck looked in disbelief. "How did these two words come together?"

After learning about it in detail, Huck suddenly discovered that private prisons are really a good thing! Save money and trouble and don’t take the blame.

Once I give the money to the contractor, these prisoners will have nothing to do with me from now on, which is perfect.

What's even better is that this set of tricks has been used by people on the other side of the ocean for a long time, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

"Very good, then let's also try to privatize the prison." Huck made up his mind.

"Yes, minister." Humphrey said with a smile.
