In England there is a prison release practice whereby foreign prisoners are upon release considered, also for deportation, this I have always felt is wrong as it amounts to punishing a person twice. A person goes through a trial they can plead they can talk to the judge and jury and they have a lawyer in short, they have rights. Once the trial is over they are found either guilty or not guilty and they’re either exonerated and let free or sentenced and sent to prison or indeed fined or given community service. Once they have completed their sentence they are [theoretically at least] considered to have fully paid their debt they may be released with certain conditions but these are discussed openly in a meeting of some sort. They are not summarily sentenced again but this time without the trial without the lawyers without the judge and jury and without any rights. What has happened recently is that some small amount over a thousand foreign prisoners were released without being considered for deportation out of those one thousand or so prisoners two were convicted of murder, three of manslaughter, nine of rape and fifty-nine of other serious violent offences this adds up to seventy-three which is around about seven percent. Because of this measly figure the government has come under fire and the home secretary Charles Clarke has been asked to resign and as a result of this he has apologised.
How sickening.
