daoyai Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Would be interesting to see if there is a statistical bump in crime in the near future. I hope employment arrangements have been made for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billythehat Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 There goes the neighbourhood. Hab au contraire, Sir, have some faith that the prison system has worked and that these poor souls have now been redeemed to become productive members in a civilised society. They would have used their time in chokey to learn perfect English, Latin, how to be good fathers, etc. The immense satisfaction gleaned from doing an honest day’s hard work should not be denied to the soul of any man....hmmm, hmmmm, praise the Lord, let me hear ya yeah!...hang on...where’s me wallet?... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Crime on the rise right before the low season. Perfect. Drug dealers are rejoicing that their customers back on the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetley Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My wife used to work for the police and still talks with her friends at the local police station. One of their biggest complaints is the annual early release of thousands of prisoners under the amnesty program. They say that the number who reoffend is enormous.

keestha Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 233 more scammers, con men, rapists, murderer's etc back on the streets of Phuket. How wonderful ! Please don't forget there are a lot of people in jail who got busted for things like possession of just a few speed pills, that's why the prisons are so overpopulated.

maidee Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 they are in jail for a reason so there would be no reason to pardon their crimes and there victims get nothing for someone's birthday, releasing criminals on the population... a bit cruel, one would say, not ?

Quite a few be innocent and if given a one year sentence would have committed a very minor crime, unlike LM which gets them years in a hell hole.
