It's all about "compassion" and "being better" than those who've committed heinous crimes.
F-king asshats. How bloody stupid can you be?
At Telegraph UK, "'Skull Cracker' on the run prompts review of 'lax' prison system":
Escape of violent armed robber nicknamed the Skull Cracker prompts review of the prison system after Michael Wheatley fails to return from temporary release.Yes, "help them integrate," because compassion!
The decision to free a violent criminal nicknamed the Skull Cracker on day release will be reviewed amid ministers’ fears over a “lax” prison system.
Michael Wheatley, an armed robber who beat several of his victims, is still on the run.
Wheatley, 55, who was given 13 life sentences at the Old Bailey in 2002, did not return to HMP Standford Hill open prison on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, after he was allowed out on Saturday.
Wheatley raided 13 building societies and banks over 10 months in 2001 and 2002 while on parole from a previous 27-year sentence for other robberies.
He earned his nickname after pistol-whipping victims during the raids.
Jeremy Wright, the prisons minister, said there will be a “full review” of the case, looking at the decision to grant Wheatley temporary licence to leave prison.
The case raises concerns about the way day-release schemes have been operating, he said.
"We are not prepared to see public safety compromised, the system has been too lax up to now and we are changing that,” he said.
In future when prisoners are let out on temporary licence they will be tagged, subject to tougher risk assessments and tested in the community under strict conditions before being released.
"Temporary release can be an important tool in helping offenders reintegrate but it should not be an automatic right,” he said.
Screw "public safety," the "skull cracker" has rights omg! Reintegrating offenders is job one!
