It did not sit right with me when he had tried to use religion to try and manipulate the parole board. .
Surely they have heard the 'sky fairy' path to redemption a million timesParole programme continued to be good.
Felt sorry for the bloke with the incompetent parole officer - was put back for a year i think as she wasn't prepared. A violent b
d mind you.
Looked like a good life in his open prison - own little portacabin, tv and games console. The crims don't appreciate how much us working types are "imprisoned" by our jobs and the law, whereas when they're out they do what they want when they want, so being inside is worse
. A bit tongue-in-cheek...

That seemed very unfair. It'd take a lot of convincing for me to think he wasn't still dangerous though.Felt sorry for the bloke with the incompetent parole officer - was put back for a year i think as she wasn't prepared. A violent b

time the court required them to be incarcerated, why should a sentence be halved
just because they behaved in jail ?
Sure it's an incentive for the criminal , meanwhile Society
is hoodwinked by dogooders and bed-wetting libertarians.
We need a radical rethink of sentencing, an 8 year sentence means just that.

The bloke (on camera) took the news quite well, someone of that age/previous could had gone ape s
t. Not sure I'd want his missus waiting for me outside though with the state of the tattoos on her face, wtf.
I think the other guy who had this funny old condition called ADHD every single mental head seems to have didn't quite take it so well.
The prisons are full up with an exclusive waiting list, they can't have old boys in Cat B/C prisons for full terms it just isn't going to work.
I wouldn't want to retire to the Isle of Sheppey though, it's full of crims!

I just googled and 13 percent of the prison population are foreign nationals, 17 percent of the population of the country as a whole are foreign nationals. So foreign nationals get banged up at largely the same rate as everyone else?
Not sure that 13 percent make all that much difference. I don't know how workable a Scandinavian system would be here. We probably can't afford it. There's plenty of evidence that harsher sentences do bugger all to deter people though so chucking money at keeping people locked up for longer doesn't seem the answer.
I actually think that drugs legislation reforms would probably help a lot. Legalising and taxing weed generates lots of cash which you could plow into mental health care and tackling/treating people with hard drug problems.
