    so the peado wing inmates.

    he’s not being tried here and not going to prison but the thought of him being detained ‘at her majesty’s pleasure’ 😅

    Interestingly it wasn't a paedophile specific term when it was first used. Men who were violent towards women or children and also murderers where it was perceived that the victim "didn't deserve it" were also N.O.N.C.E. I.e if other inmates didn't think that your crime was "honourable".

    I'd be interested to know whether at this point in history, if a man went to prison for beating a woman, whether he would be deemed as needing protection from other inmates in the way he would have been a few decades ago. I am sceptical.

  • That would be a strange measure of absolute equality!

    You would have to assess the average inmate's take on gender/race etc

    Bit of a post dredge, but I'd be surprised if there were very many custodial sentences for domestic violence. Also I'd put money on any of these "code of honour" rules being totally subject to the internal politics and power dynamics within a group.
