Murderers and sex offenders should stay in prison and serve their full sentence, maybe they should release petty criminals like driving offences or shoplifters instead. This would also make room in our prisons for serious crimes like violent crimes and assaults with weapons. As I was raped and had my throat cut many years ago now by an ex partner and he was released after three and a half years of his five years sentence after my wish was for him to serve his full sentence, they asked me what I would prefer but still released him.
Corinne supported: Protect Public Safety: Oppose Early Release of Sexual Offenders and RapistsThe justice system clearly is not strict enough on sex offences. I have experienced this kind of trauma enough times to know that there are plenty of men out there not scared whatsoever to commit this offence. The effects it has had on my mental health, and in turn my physical health and nervous system is enormous. It changes your whole life in so many different ways. If they've chosen to commit this horrid offence, then why should they be released early. In my opinion, they don't get long enough as it is. The trauma it induces is a life sentence itself.
