At what point do we admit that rehabilitation doesn’t work for everyone?

Released with a permanent ankle tag maybe?

I think rapists should be permenantly imprisoned, you can't reform rapists or paedophiles.

Murderers should definitely not be rapping about their crimes.

My very unpopular opinion is that IPPs weren’t such a bad thing.

This is an excellent question. At what point indeed.

The problem is we have a prime minister who prefers to release violent offenders back in to the public to make room for political dissidents in already overcrowded prisons.

Political dissidents 🤔

I'm not sure you understand the words you're using

Yanbu tbh as I'd hate to be attacked by someone known as 'violent offender ollie'

But isn't that what they've done with those public protection orders - people deemed too violent for society are in prison indefinitely

Couldnt edit but to add, their being deemed too violent, is massively disputed and has made the news.

IMO it is about protecting the public, rather than punishing someone.

It's a question of money, not justice.
