The Ministry of Justice, led by the Minister of Justice, is responsible for running them properly.<br /><br />Under our system this Minister selects the new Inspector when the time comes and a Justice Committee approves his selection. The Minister can ignore this committee if he wishes.<br /><br />We have a system where by the Inspector who inspects the Minister is selected by that Minister he inspects. This is not independent nor is right nor is acceptable.<br /><br />What next; will pupils mark their own exams or will Judges be appointed by the criminals they sentence.<br /><br />What arrant nonsense. How do the British get away with this unfair and ridiculous charade and the show great pride in our Criminal Justice system whose record and current performance is so shameful and abysmal? Why are we so smug? mickhumphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628630698538613064noreply@blogger.com
