Poster: A snowHead
|
Dang Pham, a 20-year-old prisoner in the state of Victoria, Australia, is one of three inmates given free ski holidays by local officials.
Pham was locked up for his role in two stabbings - one of a group who a judge said "mercilessly" bashed a man unconscious in a cafe, then stabbed another in the liver when he intervened.
The free ski holidays, at the Mount Stirling ski area, have caused local controversy.
This report from Herald Sun.

Pathetic. I am so disgusted. I am fed up with so-called 'justice.' All this money should be spent on the kids who wouldn't get to ski not these inhuman people living a life of reily when they should go through hell.
This world is so stupid sometimes!

I guess that it depends on whether you feel that we should be rehabilitating prisoners, or just writing them off.

Kramer, well put. One often sees stories like this designed to upset law abiding folks. There's usually rather a lot more to a story like this than the simple handing out of free holidays. IMHO, without knowing a great deal more about the circumstances it's impossible to give an informed opinion on the matter.

Maybe make them work for it but it is they who should be made to earn moeny, not take from the honest taxpayer! It is totally unfair and unjust, not to mention unsafe.

Kramer, I'm not against rehabilitating prisoners, I do wonder how this particular chap qualified for such a reward just 4 months after being convicted, especially worrying is that whilst on bail awaiting trial for the first attack he participated in a second one.
I was watching a tv show recently where an old con said that these days doing time in prison is much easier than being outside, they get good food, recreatioal facilities, tv's, hardcore porn and easy access to recreational drugs, there is no punishment involved other than not being free to go out when they want to, oh and in many cases paraole was automatic provided you didn't assult a guard whist inside.

It's a good thing for him that some of his ancestors were - unless he's from Aboriginal stock.
