Apparently, The Home Office is looking to develop a network of short-term jails that could be plugged into shopping malls and major sporting venues, as a way to streamline high-volume crime processing and burden of detaining criminals. Call them "retail jails" or, as we are told in the Times, "Tesco jails." The Ministry of Defence called for mobile units that could be moved swiftly to the scene of large-scale disturbances and protests. (via)
