But that's how it should be. Otherwise every criminal will be like Oh let me just do the crime then. I'll be in the prison rent free, tax free for a few years then go back out and get a job. Good stuff.

People that offend need to know that as soon as they offend that's it, it's over you'll pay for it somehow the rest of your life otherwise what's the point of the law it's just pointless then if everyone gets a pat on the back afterwards.

And the thing about the criminals serving a sentence all their lives, who cares, their victims might serve a sentence all their lives.

I'm just worried about human rights getting a bit too soft when it concerns criminals now. God forbid if something happens to me or my family one day, is this what I can look forward to then? Pft.


The headline on dailymail is the victim of that footballer getting threats while the footballer is getting ready for a party and possibly going back to high paying job. Awful
