As for book deals and the like, I thought that nobody was supposed to be able to profit from crime. Is it no illegal to be able to sell a book, or even a story to the newspapers if it is based on what he did?

Presumably though he should now be ignored and banished from public life rather than celebrated, much in the same way that Gary Glitter is no longer welcome.

As far as I know he cannot write about his experiences at the trial or in prison but can probably write his autobiography as long as he doesn't use/ include the crime to publicise it or increase it's sales. It's a grey area but he wouldn't be the first criminal to spend an inordinate amount of time in the papers after being released.
I'd rather they punished the guilty with sentencing that would prove a deterant and stop this BS of letting them out early for good behaviour. It's not as though they should have a choice of wether to behave or not inside but then they probably spend a lot of time arguing over what tv channel to watch or what they want for dinner :dozey:

another boring book to hit the shelves, and your right Paul there will be some sad person who will want to buy and read about his seedy life. He should have done what he did to those young boys, another sick and twisted mind.

We seem to continually suffer from interference from Europe when it comes to sentencing guilty parties
Care to justify that rather bizarre assertion?

1) We have the highest prison population in Europe and badly overcrowded prisons
2) This is because we jail so many people
3) Funnily enough, we do seem to let out well-behaved prisoners early

I do wonder if those are related in some way with no involvement from 'Europe' at all. Find another scapegoat.

Remember the judge sets the sentence - the prison service and Home Office decide when the prisoner should be released. Criminals aren't allowed to profit from their crimes directly, AFAIK. I don't think King (who I detest almost as much for his slavish Thatcherite opinions as for his kiddie fiddling) will be intending to write a book about 'How To Bugger Boys For Fun And Profit'. Remember that Archer came out with his prison diaries rather than his reminiscenses of lying in court about prostitutes. I'd anticipate some unpleasant gloating tome about running the prison entertainments or whatever he did, and no hint of remorse.

Good behaviour/early release - well, is prison a punishment or a way of changing criminals into law abiding citizens. I think both, which is why you have to have an incentive to change your behaviour.

Yeah but for how long??? It does not take long for a person who has been in prison to reoffend. How many people especially peado's do you know who think?? I must turn over a clean leaf and not think about buggery and child porn??? We had a friend, who worked with Paul and he hung around with us, he had a wife a young daughter and a bloody good job. The police raided his house 3yrs ago took everything. He was on the phone to us crying his heart out that he had not done anything and that he did not have anything to hide. The police found 3000 images of child porn on his PC and took us for donkeys. And this certain guy Mod Edit (Matt D) - name removed has been prison and disapeared into society, he lost everything and I mean everything. I ever meet this guy again I would spit in his face as he took us and the rest of the colleagues at british chrome to be idiots and we are not!


Mod Edit (Matt D) - Had some comments about the legality of mentioning the name, so I've removed it just in case!

So... In your mind, someone who supports Thatcher is almost as bad a child molester?

I'd imagine that would be extremely offensive to Thatcher fans. I think you are taking your opinions in politics too far.

Actually, I believe the early release system was Labour's idea...

This will be my only post in this thread (as I cant hold a reasonable conversation on this subject, I fell that strongly about it).

Letting perverts and murderers *rot in jail*, is a IMO a serious waste of public money. In cases of child abuse/rape/murder, there is IMO only *one* punishment to fit the crime.
