Anyone know what Dave's plan is yet, he hasn't said much apart from 'doing nothing' about the recession.

Shockeroonie! Labour have finally decided to stop the early release of prisoners. Maybe they are finally getting a clue. Either that or there is an election coming up...

The government is to halt the prisoner early release scheme designed to ease jail overcrowding in England and Wales.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw told the House of Commons that the scheme would be phased out from 12 March and see the the last inmates freed on 9 April.

If I was Labour. I'd make a lot of prisonable/custodial offences a fineable offence instead.
it'll help with the overcrowding situation, and it will help raise a lot of cash.

the only problem is though. if you can't afford to pay a fine, and you know all that will happen is that you will get fined. you'll be more likely not to give a stuff about the offence and any consequences that may have put you off it in the first place.

Are you joking? - Offenders who get fined now, who have no income because they have no job and are on benefits pay a minimum of Â£2 a week. Yep, that is really going to raise us a lot of cash.

"It is preposterous and silly to suggest there is a link between ending early release and the home curfew scheme.
The latter can help offenders re-integrate into society and turn them away from crime."

Yeah right, so letting them out 18 days ahead of when they were due to leave their already heavily discounted sentence ruins any chance of re-intergration and instead putting a tag on which 99.999999% of offenders will ignore will work instead.

Yet another example of how tough they are:

Which would normally mean he hadn't been convicted of anything. Or do you belive in guilty before being proved innocent?
