They often move prisoners to open prisons when they are close to ending their jail time. With just a year or so left of his 19 years term, will be some more added on for walking out.

Pretty much what you think they are. Possibly the most absurd thing in history. You might as well have them at home on a tag provided by G4s it's just as silly. Then again G4s would probably put the tag on his cat by accident.

I have actually worked in an OPEN prison as an outside contractor. Prisoners often go there when they are due for release.

I worked at the prison in Kent. Its like a holiday camp and the only barrier is that a prisoner can literally walk out or jump over a small fence.

BUT, if they do this, they go straight to a closed prison. I always remember when l went there, and l needed help - l stopped and asked someone, and they told me that l WAS in it already, and just drive up to the barrier and go through it.

Thats how open the prison was. I think that prisoners that are 'killers' should remain in a closed prison and wait till they're date for release. BUT, if they are killers, they should stay behind bars until they come out in a box. and then cremate them to make sure they are gone.

Sorry if that sound sadistic, but if a person takes a life, then they should pay with there life.

Agreed but the British justice system is balls. An open prison is by far the stupidest thing we've implemented.
