I don't often comment on a lot of things but I feel very strongly about the prison sentence system.

My son was sentenced to discretionary life with a tariff of 8 years that was back in 1993 he is still inside.  He has been told you have to do this course and this course but there is never the course available in the prison he is in. 

He has not seen his dad for approximately 9 years his dad is now 96 years old he has had numerous health issues in the past 3 years without him also suffering from Cancer for some years.  My son tried to apply for compassionate leave to see his dad before it becomes to late so far no joy at all. 

Yes I feel sorry for the IPP's but there are so many lifers past tariff some even longer past tariff than my son so lets not forget the FORGOTTEN LIFERS also.

Two women, aged 88 and 37, have been left "terribly shaken" after armed robbers took their vehicle with them in the back seat.
Police are investigating following the "violent" incident in Stourbridge on Sunday.
It came after two masked men first raided the One Stop convenience store on Hungary Hill, where they threatened staff with hammers shortly after 9pm.
A getaway vehicle waiting for the men stalled, officers said, leading them to turn their attentions to the victims' parked Ford Mondeo.
The suspects made off in the car without noticing the two women in the back seat.
They were dumped on the roadside several yards further on after the robbers realised they were in the vehicle. The car then sped off towards Lye.
Investigating officer Sergeant Richard Narrowmore, from West Midlands Police, said the same men had also raided the Co-op in Glebe Lane, Norton, in similar circumstances less than an hour before the incident.
In both robberies, the suspects made off with cash and cigarettes.
Speaking about the car-jacking, Sergeant Narrowmore said: "The younger woman was slightly injured and both of them were terribly shaken by their ordeal, so we are keen to trace these men as soon as possible.
"These were violent attacks with little thought for their victims and they need to be brought to justice quickly."
The stolen vehicle was recovered a short while later in Bromley Street, Lye. Forensic examinations are under way on both the stolen vehicle and the abandoned car, a silver Volkswagen Golf.
Officers are going through CCTV to see if they can identify the men.

Boyfriend digs up dead girl’s coffin after hearing screams from INSIDE grave

SHOCKING footage shows the moment a devastated family dug up a teenager’s grave after her boyfriend insisted her could hear noises coming from it.


Neysi Perez was declared dead after she suffered a heart attack when she heard gunfire near herhome in the town of La Entrada, in western Honduras.
The 16-year-old was pregnant at the time of her death.
But her boyfriend, Rudy David Gonzales, along with cemetery worker Jesus Villanueva, both claimed to have heard noises coming from her tomb.
Mr Vilanueva told local TV station Primer Impacto: “I heard screams, but I wasn’t sure if they were coming from the tomb or elsewhere.”

The pair then arranged for the concrete tomb to be smashed open with a sledgehammer.
Given new hope that their loved one was alive, the girl’s friends and families prised open the lid of the coffin before fanning and massaging her body in a desperate attempt to revive her.
Neysi's sister Gladys Gutierrez said: "I moved her, she spilled water with blood, she didn't have bad odour, she had normal body temperature."
Her body was rushed to hospital but doctors could not revive her and confirmed she was dead.

BIZARRE: Doctor's couldn't explain how a glass panel at the top of the coffin was broken
While they suggested the noises could have been a figment of the grieving boyfriend’s imagination – there were still things they were unable to explain.
Neysi’s knuckels were scratched and a glass panel at the top of the coffin was broken when it was pulled out of the tomb, leading mourners to believe she had attempted to break through it.
Local media has suggested that the teenager may have suffered a cataplexy attack - a severe form of panic attack brought on by extreme stress, which leads to muscle paralysis and a temporary loss of heart beat.
She was buried once again in her original grave.

The boy and girl deny murder but plead guilty to the manslaughter of 49-year-old Elizabeth Edwards and her daughter Katie, 13.

Two 15-year-olds have admitted killing a mother and her daughter in Lincolnshire.
The boy and girl denied murder but pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of 49-year-old Elizabeth Edwards and her daughter Katie, 13.
It is believed the victims may have been killed as early as two days before their bodies were discovered by police at their home in Dawson Avenue, Spalding, on 15 April.
The defendants, who appeared in the dock at Nottingham Crown Court, were 14 at the time of the alleged offences.
They cannot be named for legal reasons.
During a brief hearing, they spoke only to confirm their names and enter pleas of not guilty to murder but guilty to manslaughter.
They are due to stand trial on 5 October.
Both were remanded in custody following their court appearance.

Christopher Halliwell denies murdering the 20-year-old despite taking police to the site where her body was found, a court hears.

A taxi driver accused of murder admitted killing a young woman to police and took officers to the site where he buried her naked body, a court has heard.
Christopher Halliwell has pleaded not guilty to murdering 20-year-old Becky Godden and is defending himself at Bristol Crown Court.
During the opening of the trial, the jury was told the victim went missing in January 2003, but nothing was heard from her until her body was found "in a clandestine grave in a field in the middle of nowhere" in March 2011.
It was then that Halliwell told police he had "taken a girl from Swindon, had sex with her and then strangled her", before showing officers the site.
He is accused of murdering Miss Godden between January 2003 and April 2008.

Prosecutor Nicholas Haggan QC told the jury: "You might conclude that it was plain Rebecca was murdered... but secondly, this defendant, Christopher Halliwell, confessed to the police that between 2003 and 2005, he couldn't be sure of the date, he had taken a girl from the streets of Swindon.
"He told the police he had sex with her and then he killed her by strangling her. He told the police he stripped the girl of her clothes and concealed her naked body.
"Not only that, but the defendant took the police to the location."
It was not possible to determine the cause of death as Miss Godden's remains had become "completely skeletonised," the court was told.

Relatives including her mother, Karen Edwards, and father, John Godden, sat in the public gallery for the opening of the case.
The young woman's mother wept in court as the circumstances of her life and death were explained to the jury.
Miss Godden had become addicted to class A drugs and was a sex worker, the court was told.
Halliwell is already serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to the murder of Sian O'Callaghan, a woman who disappeared after a night out with friends at the Suju nightclub in Swindon in March 2011, the court heard.
Her body was discovered buried semi-naked in a rural location.
"It was concealed by undergrowth in a remote location, not a great distance from the field where Rebecca's body had been buried," Mr Haggan told the jury.
The court heard that when Halliwell was taken to the location where he had dumped Miss O'Callaghan's body, he told a detective: "I'm a sick f****r, is it too late to get help?"
After a pause, he continued: "Another one...forgive me".
Earlier, jurors heard details of the "last reliable sighting" of Miss Godden, outside a nightclub in Swindon town centre in January 2003.
The court was told she got into taxi despite having an argument with the driver.
"After that, nothing more was heard from her," Mr Haggan told the court.
"She quite literally disappeared. She was just 20 years old."
The trial continues.

A man has been killed after being struck by four vehicles on the M66 in Greater Manchester.
Detectives believe the man was walking along the northbound lanes of the motorway between junctions two and three when he was hit by an Audi A5.
The victim was then struck by three vehicles on the southbound carriageway.
Greater Manchester Police were called to the motorway at about 1.57am on Saturday, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers have arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of driving under the influence, and he remains in police custody.
Sergeant Helen Hallworth, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, has appealed for any dashcam footage from motorists who were driving in the area at the time, as it will assist her team in investigating the "tragic death".
She added: "We believe we have identified this man and we have now spoken to his next of kin.
"However, we still need witnesses who may have seen this man walking up the motorway to contact us as a matter of urgency."
