Health and safety: Convicts should not wear fluorescent jackets - to protect their feelings the Daily Mail
Convicted criminals working in the community are to be barred from wearing fluorescent jackets because their feelings might be hurt if passers-by hurl abuse, it emerged last night.
Government officials are worried about the health and safety of burglars and thugs if they can be identified as they carry out their punishments.
In a spectacular U-turn, probation staff have been told to stop putting up signs saying street work is being carried out by convicts - or forcing them to wear bright yellow jackets branded ‘Community Payback’.
Instead, a small plaque will be erected long after the yobs have gone, to make sure their delicate sensibilities are not put at risk.

The loons of Britain continue their rampage. I like the sheriff in Arizona who makes his prisoners wear pink.
