  1. Legalisation of cannabis is such a no brainer for the prison population crisis but instead lets release abusers and gang members

  2. While I do believe early parole can be beneficial in helping prison populations, I think we’ll end up needing to address prisoner rehabilitation. The UK reoffending rate has fluctuated between roughly 25-30% for quite a while now, which while it’s not high (the lowest reoffending rate in the world is around 20% in Norway), it could still use some work.

    Unfortunately, this was bound to happen when so many prisoners got granted early release on Tuesday. If you play Russian Roulette with 1750 six shooters, odds are you won’t have to wait very long for one of them to fire

  3. anyone charged with anything related to drug offenses in relation to consenting adults should be free

    execute sexual criminals, violent people and murdererers and there will be more space

    I think most of us knew releasing criminals early was a baaad idea.

    Better off building more infrastructure but nope.

    These fearmongering headlines aren’t going to convince me sorting out overcrowding wasn’t an obvious problem that the Tories just ignored and left for Labour to deal with

    I just love how high the standard of going into prison and almost non-existence of the police in the cities and somehow the prison is full.

    Who would’ve thought that after releasing criminals, they would keep committing crimes. Such a wild and unexpexted turn of events. What a joke.
