PAULINE	PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION TO PARLIAMENT REGARDING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN PRISON. THIS SORT OF THING IS NOT HELPING THE OVERCROWDING PROBLEM WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING KEPT THERE INDEFINITELY. petitions.pm.gov.uk/OUTRAGEOUS/ MANY THANKS

The difference between you and me, Keith, is that I don't hope that one day you or a member of your family fall victim to a wrongful conviction and feel the real pain of that. Ditto. Very ditto.

JC	Some facts for Keith and his various incarnations. 1. Very few people will be kept in prison for life. Not enough room or money, and most crimes are not serious enough. 2. Once inmates are released into the society we have two choices. a) encourage them to lead law abiding lives and be useful members or b) deny them any kind of acceptance and drive them back into crime. 3. Not everyone in prison is guilty. Plenty of high profile examples, and countless more which are not reported. "Do-gooders" help criminals to go straight and reduce crime levels. This is the best way forward.
JK2006	And a quick point about "do gooders" that you Keith (as well as Arthur and others) keep slagging off. Would you prefer us to be "do badders"?
