Now ime not a do gooder or an expert in this field but if true what i heard today made my blood boil...feel free to correct me if ime wrong.
A guy serving a long stretch for armed robbery has served the last two years in an open prison,and while there has been working which obviously is a good thing and part of his rehab into normal life...my issue is that hes been saving his wages and stands to pick up £13,000 on his release...now in my eyes that cant be right surely.
Like i say i know prison isnt easy but to be getting all meals etc for a few years with no outlay and to come out with a sum like that....well in my eyes it cant be right.

We don't make the rules, so i say fair play to the bloke. I know where you're coming from and i kind of agree, but in my opinion we have enough laws and redtape to remove our freedom and rights without adding more.
Life's just a short old game where the many pay for the indolence of the rest; the government get their cut, and that is all that matters.

Maybe he should pay it back to the company / person he robbed.

Suppose the good thing is that he saved his money instead of drugs etc, and when he comes out he'll be financially secure and won't have to turn to crime.

isn't it correct that if you don't work in prison, you can claim the dole?

Agree Fred.If he turns his life around and does good with the money and his life then prison has done it's job.

I've always thought we should give offenders the amount of money they need to stop committing crime. I'd rather we gave heroin addicts enough money to buy smack then them having to mug old ladies for it. Just give them about £200k each every year and acquisitive crime will plummet.
This works for whores too.

Punishment for crime is meant to be retribution with an end. As in once you have served your time/paid your fine/done your community service or whatever then the slate is supposed to be wiped clean and you start all over again.
Well that's how used to be. Now it seems that the stigma for your past actions stays with you which I think is just wrong.
