Rhys Jones Murderer Seems Happy In Jail

[trt]

No wonder gun, and murder crime is on the increase, no deterrents.

As for the woman writing to him, shes achieved her aim, made a few bob, and 15 minutes of fame!

[ummmm]

A minimum off 22 years is not a deterrent?

I don't need to read what he's up to in prison, for me it's sufficient to know he's in there.

Not for the family of Rhys of course.

Ummm...I would like to think that a sentence like that is a deterrent but I am not sure it is.

But what on earth is this daft woman writing to a murderer in the first place ?

And why is she sending him racy photos of herself.

And what on earth has happened to her eyebrows ?

Another question.....I am not making a case for censorship here, but what on earth is the DM giving so much detail and publicity to this affair ?

If I was the parents of that poor little lad, I really wouldn't want a national newspaper splashing out all these details, about the man who murdered my son.

Gone are the days of hanging them up by their thumbs, or setting them to the treadmill or breaking rocks.....

He'll spend the 'best years of his life' in prison, which is entirely as it should be.

Jack...I notice that he was sentenced to a minimum of 2 years, which might mean that he serves longer, depending on what the parole board ( I think ! ) decide when the 22 years is up.

[Mamyalynne]

Another reason I stopped getting papers, I don't wish to read such dross.

[ummmm]

Yes...he could serve longer.

## A minimum off 22 years is not a deterrent?

He could be out when he is 48 Ummmm, ample time to kill somebody else!

[ummmm]

After spending the best part of his life in prison I very much doubt he'd come out to murder again.

He's studying, exercising, cooking...skills he'll need when he's released. I think they call that rehabilitation.

In those letters he is trying to impress a woman - being the big man. He's hardly going to tell her that he is somebody's b*tch and cries himself to sleep every night

[mikey4444]

I still think that he DM should be castigated for putting the lads parents though all this. It would have been enough to say that he has received letters, without all the gory details. Or even better still....to have said nothing.

[hc4361]

The Daily Mail only cares about making money, mikey. Nothing they do surprises me

[mikey4444]

HC...yes, you are right or course....is just a down-market tabloid after all

The deterrent is the jail term and the loss of liberty. All 'Lifers' get special privileges in jail, for example they are entitled to single cell accommodation rather than sharing. Harder / harsher jail conditions do not have any effect on reducing crime as no one ever expects to get caught. I have worked in a jail education department and talked to several 'lifers' in for murder and not one of them said the death sentence or harsh prison conditions would have prevented their crime, they all said it was a 'one off' in a situation of extreme stress or provocation without thought of the consequences.
