As prison does not effectively reform most of the inmates surely it is better to keep those who are an ongoing threat inside even if this means people such as Ronnie Biggs are let out early. After all the sentence he is now serving is not to reform him but a genuine life sentence, with his only exit from the prison being in a Hearse.
That's where one of the problems with this country lies. Our prisions are full. Instead of building more so everyone that should go to prison, can - we have groups that say we should stop sending them. A person already in prison shouldn't keep another one out IMO.
