When will a foreign judge be retained in Heathrow?

Sir Martin Wolf questions the current extradition agreements between the UK and the US based on the extremely harsh sentences in terms of time and inhuman conditions that could be imposed on British citizens and for that he paints a horror picture about the US prisons, “Judicial torture and the NatWest 3”, November 30.

I do not know about the prison conditions in the US, thank you Lord, but in too many countries around the world when judges sentence people to prisons, they are in fact sentencing them to another Auschwitz in terms of the absolute disrespect those places show for the most basic human rights, and worse the judges cannot even start to claim they didn’t know. When will the International Criminal Court in The Hague start to investigate these crimes against humanity?

If we cannot correct the correctional institutions around the world the quality of all our future is much in doubt.
