A spell in chokey made me into the man I am todayHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Some positions in IT have a fair bit of responsibility. If one of these ex-cons are employed in SysAdmin I could well see they might trash a major database and nick the backup tapes for a laugh, losing the client millions. They might even try to blackmail the client for a few 100 £k's for their return.
Criminals are scumbags, and should be kept out of positions of power.Comment

As a taxpayer with no criminal record, as a bolshie opinionated git, as an intolerant ratbag, can I just say:
if someone in the nick wants to knuckle down and do some qualifications in the hope of getting a job when outside, I am perfectly appy to have my tax money pay for that training.
(If you are going to write off anyone sent to prison then the only fair and sensible thing to do is the death penalty instead. I do NOT want my tax money wasted on keeping ex-prisoner in idle leisure for the rest of their lives, especially if they show an interest in becoming a tax payer.)My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
