Or it could encourage the rise of a Hell' Grannies movement. As I always wanted to grow old disgracefully, it would be useful to live in Arthur's world where you only had to serve time if you were young and fit.

As far as Biggs is concerned I don't see why he should be released. Had he stayed in prison rather than escaping his time in goal would have come to an end years ago. He is in prison now because of his own actions and I have no sympathy for him.
