Dave Hedgehog Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The inmates at Jurby Prison donated the Aziz Sharpe, two, from Douglas, who was born with microcephaly, which means her head is smaller than normal. Once again. Glad I don't bother paying my licence fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again. Glad I don't bother paying my licence fee Regret paying mine now. Diabolical reporting. The walk began in Castletown. What walk?. Schoolboy stuff Anyway, that aside, if I read between the lines (not easy) appears the inmates have done a good thing. Good on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 people can and do change. Change what? Not sure what you mean. How does this all work? Are the given incentives for doing this work? Do they have a choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get sent to prison as a punishment and the punishment is loss of liberty. Going out for a walk all day is not a loss of liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Roo Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Going for a walk is "freedom", if one is in prison surely one is not entitled to have this kind of privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Reason Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Going for a walk is "freedom", if one is in prison surely one is not entitled to have this kind of privilege. And never mind that it raises funds for a good cause? Didn't see any pre-advertising for sponsorship for this one. Shame I would have contributed. My god, inmates went for a charity walk, a real "privilege" (maybe they had chance to have a fag though) Did anyone abscond? . Does this not count as part of rehabilitation.? Thought some less serious offenders get time out on daily/weekend parole anyway. (I may be wrong) As I have learnt from my teenage son - "not a biggie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Presumably it wasn't just a general walk about and they were following a route, with guards. Hardly freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Going for a walk is "freedom", if one is in prison surely one is not entitled to have this kind of privilege. No, no. When these men are taken out of prison they will be kept under very heavy surveillance. They don't have the same level of liberty as we do. They will be kept on the leash! I don't really see your problem with them doing this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
