Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs has been granted release from his prison sentence on compassionate grounds, Justice Secretary Jack Straw has said. Train_Robber I'm not happy ........
he will probably dead soon mate as he"s knocking on abit spose it saves us paying for his stay in the clink
saves the prison service around £35k a year!!
But how much will it cost for all the protection he will need from the media and other idiots out therE?
why has he had such a long sentence??
i mean, some people murder/maim/rape and get out in less then 10 years, the legal system is a farce
he hasnt had a long sentence... dont forget he was on the run for 30 years living it up in brazil!Originally Posted by pyro_maniac
Farce?
You can commit a terrible crime, escape from prison, evade capture get caught show no remorse ever, and then get off your sentence because you're ill? Sets a terrible precendant.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime ring a bell?
What's not in the public interest is releasing hardened lifelong criminals regardless of their health. We should be punishing criminals harder not more liberally.

he only came back cos he was ill and wanted looking after on the nhs. shoulda shipped him straight back to mexico or where ever he was holed up.
Just wrong for him to be released.
.
Even though the crime wasn't like some committed today, if judge and jury saw fit to sentence him, that's where he should stay
really....who cares? does it really make any difference to any of your lives whether he's in prison or not? worry about something more important....
Interesting point knox, more important than?
We're releasing terminally ill criminals now are we? So what does the Home Secretary do when a terminally ill person commits a crime, are we not sentencing them, because they're going to die same as Biggs? And what if that crime affects you or me? Nobody chooses to be a victim of crime, but apathy, or glamourising criminality doesn't go any way to stopping, or reducing, it.
IMO its about politics and the justice system the same as the, albeit, negative publicity surrounding our heroes in the Armed Forces...just in time for labour finally to do something in the right direction ready for a general election; or is that a bit too cynical?
