Good morning
Drunk tanks eh? Leaving aside the legal nightmares any private operator would doubtless face, they might be a good way to save public money but I'd say you would need to have done it more than once to face a bill for your care.

The best aspect (apart from saving the estimated £500+ it costs the taxpayer every time someone hospitalises themselves with alcohol)
would be that normal people who have the misfortune to require a trip to A&E on a Friday or Saturday night would be spared the waking nightmare that such a visit currently entails. Christ alive it's terrifying.

Most of the people arrested probably can;t afford a £400 fine but something does need to be done to curb the drunk culture.

I think we need a steeper justice system as is. It seems offenders aren't afraid of prison, and why should they be when they have three meals a day, nice flatscreen telly and PS3's?!
