Released at half time
 

It appears that the justice system are to start releasing prisoners halfway through their sentences, instead of the two thirds because of over crowding, the release of 500 will start next month. its not shorter sentences we need its bigger and better jails and sed out the message that crime doesn't pay, instead of the joke system we have at the moment:mad:

Pathetic is the only word i can think of.:(

Re: Released at half time
 

So when they do it again, then what?
They get told "No, really, please don't do it again, we aint got enough room!"

Re: Released at half time
 

very stupid way to go, the next step may well be = don't gaol em fer what they term the lesser crimes. n they say crime don't pay.:mad:

Just about sums this country up doesn't it?:mad:

Re: Released at half time
 

Agreed

Re: Released at half time
 

think most folk would agree, problem is ALL partys are the same- Tough On Crime:moon::moon::rolleyes:

Re: Released at half time
 

The majority of prisoners are in for petty crimes anyway. Might as well just fine them instead of forking out to keep them in prison. I think prison should be exclusively for people who are a danger to the public, and those who commit massive crimes like fraud and stuff. I think I'd include benefit fraud in that too though, as fining probably isn't the best option for those who are already on benefits to survive :p

I don't think this is that bad of a proposal, could potentially sort the whole thing out, or as most of you feel, it may fall on its backside.

they should brin back the death penilty for these dirty scum ;that need to stay in prison for life ; then they will have more room ;

Re: Released at half time
 

Be rude not to ...



hope they make sure they have enough money and a nice house for when they get out....

the uk's gone mad... and if I could I would leave it for good....

Re: Released at half time
 

Out of interest, which country would you choose to go to?

I am studying courts, law and politics in the comparative perspective next year as one of my optional modules, so I'll be able to recommend legal systems to suit all your needs :)

I just can't be bothered replying to Blazey, she lives in her own little dream, behind a glass screen and doesn't live in the real world, god help her when she finally wakes up and joins the real world:o

Spain... I know the police there are errrrrrr shall we say not that good:
but the life style I could go for...

like I said just sick of being told what I can and can not do in this country...
and all the bad people seem to be treated well, and the good ones get treated like dirt:

Re: Released at half time
 

have to disagree about the spanish police, having lived there, they sure don't take any crap off chavs IMHO.

Re: Released at half time
 

I've said it before, if its good enough for our call centres its good enough for our jails, OFFSHORE THEM! I bet a year in a stinking Indian jail, 50 to a room with a hole to pee in would soon focus them on rehabilitation when they did get out!

I bet the indian goveremnt would probably oinly charge a tenth of what it costs to keep them over here as well!

Re: Released at half time
 

Quite right, excellent idea! Unfortunately not one single politician, Labour, Tory or Lib Dem, would have the guts to implement it.

Re: Released at half time
 

Seems reasonable to me. Then we could bring the call centres back to England ? Is that too much to hope for?

Re: Released at half time
 

I would think it is, any sensible solution is bound to be rejected:mad:
