I hope these men are treated with respect. I worked at a local wholesaler an they routinely hire recovering addicts and former inmates and these men are treated badly by management. They are made to feel that they are Lucky to be employed………and they are paid way less than everyone else.

How about making sure the people who aren’t in prison can find employment before invest all your time in the ones who are

Non violent offenders,excluding thieves,should not be in a prison with murderers,rapists and pedophiles to begin with.I have seen killers out making kites at schools and i hope the supervision is sufficient to prevent an incident similar to what happened to the young tourist killed in Dockyard.When another particularly violent offender recently absconded from unsupervised release,we were told by Col.Lambe that he was no threat to the community,using that line of reasoning we could release a bunch of prisoners since they present no threat at all.Fyi.

I think these prisoners should be out working anyway, for free. Let them give back to society. Not all of them ofcourse, leave the killers, rapists, child molesters in prison cells, and let the others out to cut grass, kill the weeds, fix the roads etc. Why are we paying, when we have free labour up there?
