"Deaths In Custody Watch Commitee (WA) Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lack of courses delays release one would like to think that those people who are in charge ( not repsonsible) of prisons here in WA would try to reduce the costs of incarceration through simply getting people prepared for release at the due or earliest date. that is another myth. Prisoners are constantly complaining about not being able to access a specific program that they are assessed as required to complete prior to release. The same people who plan the sentences know that courses are not available, and yet the parole board just keeps on telling prisoners that they 'have failed to address offending behaviour' Funny that? no! Some members of the parole board have or still work for the MOJ. Others have connection to it. They should know by now that they can't place the responsibility on the prisoner to address offending behaviour when in fact prisoners have tried time and time again to get on a program. It is outrageous that men and women are kept in jail because someone has made a stuff up about not providing enough courses for the demand, and that in turn the parole board says these are so important that you have to do it before we can let you out. comments please, b. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/8438/index.html ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
