What the fuck was this pyscho doing in an open prison?
Bloke ran over two kids and killed a woman while banned from driving and had a long list of prior convictions.
I know, let’s put him in an open prison! Is there a single fraction of our government that isn’t utterly incompetent?
He seems nice /s
He’s gone back for seconds
“Open prison” is an oxymoron
I think that open prisons are a great concept for non-violent offenders serving a relatively brief time in jail, or for those prisoners who are coming to the end of a longer sentence as going directly from a very restrictive prison environment to total freedom seems as though it would be quite difficult, but a person serving a very long sentence with many years left, or a whole life sentence for that matter, should not be in such a place. Human beings by nature reject confinement and yearn for freedom, so it’s to be expected that a man who knows that he will never be free again will take the chance to escape if he can, as there’s nothing to lose in the event of failure.
He isn’t serving a life sentence (still less a whole life sentence, as suggested by one of the comments in this thread). He is serving an indefinite sentence for public protection.
Describing this as a life sentence suggests he was convicted of murder, which simply isn’t true.
