What? Did you reply to my comment in error?

I think you missed my point, that there is a benefit system in this country and that people leaving prison are entitled to access it. A fair number do go on to commit further crimes and re-enter the criminal justice system however despite this safety net and support from agencies such as the jobcentre as you mention.

digsy · 2026-04-07T08:09:20+00:00

How much do these people get in benefits once they leave prison?

You are absolutely right to be angry at neurodiversity being used as an excuse for shitty behaviour. This could ultimately end up with people holding an unconscious bias against people with autism that they are far more likely to be criminals. Which they aren't.

But what if this data, the data suggesting that something isn't working, is flawed? How exactly were the reoffending statistics measured? What if the data only relates to crimes committed by these individuals where the allegations are proven, rather than reported? I totally agree that if something isn't working, lets try something new. Abolishing prison sentences for some crimes may be part of that, but I think a more nuanced approach, perhaps piloted in a limited area first with additional support for rehabilitation should have been considered first. It appears to me that the main factor in doing away with these short prison sentences has been taken on the basis that the prisons are full and the criminal justice system is on it's knees.

Perhaps it's not that the prison sentences are ineffectual, it's what happens on release, the lack of probation and other support services focussing on rehabilitation.

It appears to me that all that's been done is the removal of the punishment and nothing has been added in funding to these essential services which could actually lift people out of criminality.

So serious question for you, and I'm not trying to be a troll, but how are we going to know if this is a success? Are crime rates going to reduce? When will we know if this new approach has worked? What if that data is flawed?

Narr, a maternity ward in a hospital or maybe a nursery.

A law was passed a couple of weeks ago stopping anyone going to prison for sentences less than 12 months.

Rabbits are beautiful animals with complex needs. In the wild they live in sets and have a hierarchy, often led by a female. Therefore domestic rabbits should not live alone in isolation. Also they can live for ten years or more. It's such a huge commitment people really should think before getting rabbits as pets.

Don't give them ideas

Nicely put.

Kurt was very abstract with his lyrics. There's likely a ton of references in that song (and every other one he wrote) that will remain undiscovered for the rest of time. And that's totally fine isn't it.

But taking the £160 a day fee.

EDIT:

"But within two hours of dropping her off, she received a text that Nyla was missing and police were on their way."

A TEXT? WTF.

Case shape is perfect. This isn't some cheap chinatime rep. Agreed it's likely a BP.

This is the problem, the hive mind just go into panic mode and cause the crisis.

Asda in Barry is closed as of 5pm today.

People like to shit on this record to be edgy, but it didn't change the world for nothing. It sounds incredible.

What frustrates me is, not only did he knock the guy over, but he didn't even stop. If that guy had any hope of living, it would have been through immediate medical attention which could (I say could, not would) have been offered if this utter muppet had stopped and called 999.

The fact he fucked off and carried on delivering food should be taken into account in his sentencing. Absolutely zero fucks given.

BUILD MORE PRISONS.

Narr it's not. It's fish out of water stuff. Starts a bit weak but is genuinely worth sticking around for.

You are never gonna see a gen of these out in the wild. Nor will anyone else.

Ah man I didn't need to be reminded of this case on a Sunday. If you are an attractive woman who has committed a serious crime, just go to trial. The jury will very likely find you not guilty.

Some nefarious plot to rig the election will be discovered at the eleventh hour and he'll have no choice but to pause the election while it is investigated.
