Full story at BBC News Online, here's the jist:
Maxine Carr has applied for a tagging scheme that would allow her to be freed early from her three-and-a-half year jail term, imposed after the Soham case.
Her application has prompted changes to the Home Detention Curfew scheme.
The Home Office says final decisions to release and tag prisoners will not be made by prison governors in some cases.
Carr, 26, was convicted last month of conspiring to pervert the course of justice following the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
OK now I'm getting pissed off with everything governmental, CONVICTED criminals especially in cases like the above should no way in HELL be allowed to walk the streets no matter whether they are tagged or on 24hour surveilance (sp?).
Its bascially giving their freedom back and as reported on South Today earlier last year (boy my memories good) a convicted paedophile (memorys better than my spelling) who - whilst tagged - attemtped to kidnap a young boys fron a park.
Thats just once case of tagging not working but what does everyone else think?
Do you think that someone who gets a jail sentance should be allowed to be tagged and allowed to walk the streets?
Or like me do you think they should be locked up in a cell until they're final day?
If ist anything to do with over crowding of jails then the government MUST look into the reality of increasing jail sizes too cope...other wise criminals will be wandering around YOUR town 3 months into a 4 year sentance of a jail term....it just aint right.
