I wonder why –

Why are we letting violent criminals out early? Guess we should be glad no one has been raped or murdered over this policy yet.
The left will say prison is about rehabilitation, but clearly these have not completed that process?
The right will say build more prisons. I’m on that boat. Creates jobs too.
This piece of information alone is meaningless. Some released prisoners will re-offend. That’s nothing new.
To have a proper picture, you’d need to look at the re-offending rates of those released early versus similar prisoners that weren’t.
Let them out early, let them out late, they’ll reoffend regardless. There’s nothing a few more years of prison would do to reduce that chance. Some people are just uncontrolled animals

Who whoulda thunk it? Violent criminals are the types of people that have a child like ability to control their actions, are volatile, and can’t be predicted and released early with any amount of certainty they won’t instantly commit the same crimes they committed before!
If they have > than a 10% failure rate at assessing who should be released early, that’s simply not high enough for me to be happy with them releasing ANY criminals convicted of violent offences early, at all.
Government & Justice system once again letting innocent people be victim to stupid policies.
Should be grounds to take Gov to court in my opinion.
So what they’re saying is that the system works? Prisoners are released under terms that if they break them end up returned to prison.
They were released early, they re-offended, they are back. It’s almost like the ones that re-offended would likely have done so even if they served their full term.
Build more prisons. It’s that simple. Massive population increase, we need more capacity.
**Scottish Government**: All right, I’m going to make a little deal with you mugs. I’m going to let you all out to see my team play the hockey game if you promise to return to your cells!
**Prisoners**: Sorry, pig. We can’t make that promise.
**Scottish Government**: All right… all right, I’ll sweeten the deal. You can see the game, you don’t have to come back, but you have to promise not to commit any more crimes, OK?
**Prisoners**: No.
**Scottish Government**: I’ll take that as a yes.
Well yes, obviously?
We don’t actually have a criminal problem in this country – just a problem with a tiny minority of men being disgustingly prolific offenders, and a refusal by the system to actually do something with them.
I think some people think crime is normally distributed.
lawyers and judges must be milking it on fees for their time.
