David Blunkett is a reformed man after a shock behind bars

David Blunkett is a reformed man after a shock behind bars

Labour's toughest Home Secretary seems to have gone tender. The man who once wanted to ban hoodies now wants to hug them.

David Blunkett spent ten days behind bars with young offenders for a reality TV show and emerged believing that society needs to be tough with them, but also understanding.

He said: ?I talked to them a lot, I learnt about grime - a form of music culture - we had art therapy and woodwork. Their problems were all about peer pressure and breakdown of the family. Often people just got into the wrong set.?

The show was set in a specially refurbished prison in Scarborough. The 17-year-olds had all been in trouble, for drugs, assault or theft, but had never been in jail. In with them were prison warders, former convicts and criminologists.

What a relief I still don't have a Ch5 TV ariel!
