Just listening to Alan Beswick on the radio and apparently that Venables is up for parole and could be released from prison in 2 weeks  Poor Denise Jamie Bulgers Mum is campaigning to stop him been released....I hope he never get's out. As for Johnson he apparently is living in Australia.. The pair of them need to rot in hell. I'll be keeping an eye out for any petition that I can sign to prevent him been released. It's a joke our judicial system!! |

For the most part I don't sign up to the 'keep them in until they die' argument for prisoners however I think that this person has shown he cannot be rehabilitated several times. I believe he broke his licence conditions and was caught with child porn (this is from a sketchy Sunday morning memory so I may be wrong).
The other one seems to have just got on with his life after being released with a new identity. |

Our judicial and court system is based on the belief that people get punished, then released once their crimes are paid for and that they have atoned through that process.
Some crimes are awful beyond belief but to incarcerate someone forever isn’t feasible and indicates that a person can’t change or atone.
Personally I don’t want to live in a society that believes that.
This case caught the public conscience but there have been others that are just as bad where the people/person has continued in their life after. Let’s not get caught up in the witch hunt |

Not with all cases, psychologist reports and what was said in interviews form a picture which the judge uses to inform sentences, we have whole life tariff now which reflects the idea that some can't be rehabilitated and released such as April Jones killer who will never see the light of day again and rightly so. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley would never of been released either.
The idea that the Bulger murderers could be released were based on the grounds that they were children when committing that murder, I know there was stuff which was kept out of the public domain in that case.
The one I believe has turned his life around and is living life under the radar and rightly so. The other I believe has offended time again...Should he be released? I don't know but it's not as black and white as releasing him and allowing him to roam free. |
