A view into parole

There are two kinds of people - those who say once a murderer always a murderer, refusing to believe that people change. You -cannot- please those people no matter what, and their views are best ignored :)

The other kind are those who would be on the parole board. I'd rather let those guys make the decisions instead of the often ignorant public and their daily generic tabloid of the sun and all that jazz.
 
I like John Reid's idea of having the victims/victim's family have a say in the decision about these criminals being let out.

And KNiVES; not all people change and those who realise this certainly shouldn't be ignored.
 
Well i just asked elrazuress to program the pvr to record that one for me. I will post my comment when i watch it. :)

And that's for the parole board to decide. There's no other else more qualified, although that doesn't mean they aren't prone to mistakes.

How can you know there is no-one else more qualified without knowing the composition of any given parole board?
 
Let me get that right it costs the tax payers £37k a year to keep them in prison, and this illegal immigrant has been in prison for 20 years so it has cost the taxpayer £740k nice. :rolleyes:
 
I missed the first 15 mins of this. What I can't understand is why didnt that illegal immigrant learn to speak english. I can't believe he was incarcerated all those years and didnt pick up any english!!! You would have thought he would have made the effort just to make his life easier.
 
Well I watched it with interest, had to admit thar Michael Lynch gave me a belly laugh when he talked about firebombing the police cars at the station and described their radio conversation - classic!

What stood out more than anything for me though was the bad message the program gave to those who are *currently* serving a parole sentence - and I can guarantee that most of the prison population will have been watching last night.

You had an "Honour Killing" murderer who has done nothing during his time inside to improve himself or his situation - hasn't even learnt proper english - who gets released, whilst the lad who has worked hard throughout his sentence taken courses and made an effort to improve himself and rehabilitate himself gets turned down for parole!

This is a really poor message to send to people who are possibly just starting a parole sentence - they will simply elect to not do anything to improve themselves - and could well get released early inspite of that.

People should be encouraged to do positive things with their time inside, and this program certainly didn't do that.

:mad:
 
Parole.
stupid idea.
time off for good behaviour, when by definition you need to have exhibited bad behaviour to end up there in the first place.
scrap the entire concept.

2 yr sentence? you do 2 yrs.
no more confusion, no more public outcries.
