That "law" you talk about is simply that they are allowed to make a judgement as to whether it's safe to release him. There is no law that said they had to automatically release him.

"However, Parole Board panels are bound by law to assess whether a prisoner is safe to release," the statement said. "Legislation dictates that a panel's decision must be solely focused on what risk a prisoner may pose on release and whether that risk can be managed in the community.

Strangely enough the thing that might deter him from reoffending, is DNA evidence.

I don’t think you should ever see the outside of a prison cell for that kind of crime.
There’s lots of casual low level offenders in prison taking up time and resources that are not really a danger to society and for who prison does not help them or us and then there’s people like him the world is a better place with him locked away.
I don’t believe in the death penalty but for the real evil *******s, they should stay locked up.

Raped and killed children in two separate incidents three years apart, I think that's significant

You implied they had no choice in the matter, eg he had served the whole sentence.
In essence, I've only said what others have said, in that he will never be safe to release because of the nature of his crimes.

My compadre has just said that the only way he should be released is from 30,000 feet with a bungee cord tied to his tackle. Pretty much.

Re: Convicted Child Killer Colin Pitchfork to be Released by Parole board
Keep him locked up indefinitely ? Absolutely.
As it's widely known that capital punishment plays no significant role in reducing offences being commited. You have to wonder whether the people who call for it are motivated by justice ? or, by revenge ?

Don't remember saying they had to let him out as he'd served his sentence? Where they didn't have a choice was because they've concluded under the terms of his licence the public will be safe from further offending and that is the only thing they can legally base a decision on and that's why it's an ass

You won't find a bigger proponent of rehabilitation of offenders than me, it was my job for years after all but in some specific individuals cases rehabilitation should go out the window in favour of punishment, they should be locked up and the key literally thrown away

It saves a lot of money, though.

Taking his life makes society as bad as what it put him in prison for though.
Also, it means that such people get away with what they did (in this life anyway). Far better for them to be denied their freedom and have a long, long time to have a think about what they did.
Finally, if it turns out that they were innocent, there's no coming back from death.

I very much doubt it; I was speaking in general terms though as opposed to this particular case.
There have been cases where convictions have been overturned for criminal acts that would have attracted the death penalty had it been in force at the time of the original conviction. People can be let out of prison & compensated, but not be brought back to life.

That's all very well, papa, but where's the justice for the victim and their family?
If somebody can so casually take someone else's life, they should not be walking the planet.
