Is that the same for someone caught selling weed or wrongly accused rape?

An ambiguous thought process for being inside, non...?

I probably should have said that coupled with his 48 years of behaviour inside then a conclusion as to his ability to conduct himself outside before incarceration may be drawn.

It was not a blanket condemnation of anyone who has been convicted, but you knew that my good friend. :-)

Not seen you posting much in the threads I have been lurking on. You good?

I did know that, pal. Just wanted you to course correct as someone less friendly may have been unkind to you!

I'm okay. Think many people find me 'bad' cos I don't sheep think, but that's okay. Pretty sure you know I'm okay with the usual attacks from the usual mobs! LOL!

How are you faring these days, my good sir?
 
This sort of thing is where we really fail as a nation.

I read somewhere our reoffending rates are over 70%. Madness. There's no attempt to rehabilitate, all we do is punish. Which is revenge really, and it's proven it doesn't work.

We let people out of prison with nothing and say off you go, be good. Most of them don't know how to be good...

I think it's Sweden or Denmark where everyone in prison goes through a rehab process and is taught things inside, then when released there's a proper structure. Their reoffending rates are a quarter of ours.

Bronson has served his time. With correct release after care he could get back on his feet. But it's easier to just sack him off as a person and leave him inside.

We let murderers out sooner....
 
Apparently he's suffering from PTSD which is hardly surprising given his many years of incarceration and fighting the system. The problem is how do you manage somebody like him in society? He might be 70 but he's a very fit powerful 70. The majority of his life has been fighting against anyone or anything he considers is controlling him or telling him what to do. I'd hope the man could come out and enjoy his final years in peace but I fear the first time he's challenged or told he can't do something he'll explode.

This is why I’m struggling to see why he should remain locked up for the rest of his days. Sure, he’s brought a lot of it on himself with numerous serious assaults inside adding so many years to his sentence, but I feel he deserves a chance of a life outside of prison. Watching that programme the other week, I thought Kerry Daynes spoke well about the situation.
