    So you're saying HM Prisons are the temples of God, right?

    Barclays 'sends female staff into jails to recruit inmates as customers'

    they are sending in young women and men to deal with hardened criminals.

    So not specifically female staff. And I'll not specifically young staff either.

    Barclay's don't have any pit ponies on their staff - they all work in Local Government.

    Barclays bank is sending female staff members into prisons across the country to recruit inmates as new customers.

    The High Street bank has chosen the unusual tactic to boost the number of account holders but critics have labelled the scheme scandalous.

    According to The Sun, the female customer services workers have been sent to 17 jails including Parkhurt and Albany on the Isle of Wight, where large numbers of sex offenders and paedophiles are held.

    A source at HMP Isle of Wight told the newspaper: 'The bank has a captive market of accounts by cashing in on prison inmates.'

    'And remember they are sending in young women and men to deal with hardened criminals. It doesn't seem right.'

    Barclays said the program was about promoting 'financial inclusion' of people who had no accounts.

    The bank said the scheme enabled prisoners to manage their money.

    A Prison Service spokesman said: Engaging the expertise of independent organisations like business and charities is vital to changing people's lives and stopping the revolving door of crime

    Oh NO!!! Surely not men and women... if only there was another option... cats maybe, or pit ponies, the latter might be glad of the work

    FFS!

    Hmm, they've misinterpreted what the public have been saying about sending bankers to prison.
