Escaped Prisoners

[dummkopf]

Two convicted murderers have escaped from an open prison in Derbyshire. I always thought these open prisons were places prisoners could work outside and have more 'freedom' and were for people who had committed non-violent crimes. My question is what are 2 murderers doing in an open prison?

Even more disturbing is the fact that Derbyshire Police, are refusing to release the photographs of these killers, because it will infringe on their human rights. What about our human rights?

Open prisons have housed nearly all categories of prisoners for many years,at one time it was only at the end of the sentence that life servers were sent to them.Prisoners do not escape from open prisons, they walk out .Whilst in an open prison inmates have more privileges but earn less in "wages" and I also believe that the education facilities are very good.
Having lived close to an open prison for many years ,you get used to seeing prisoners walking around unescorted but you also learn to have extra security!
