Except tagging does not stop you going out and committing a crime.

That's very true, and that's the beauty of a Labour government! Thanks to Labour this man now had a "choice" whether to reoffend or not. Under the previous Tory government and their draconian incarceration policies, he wouldn't have had that "choice".

Strange how the elf and safety folks never get involved when it really matters.

Lunatics running the asylum

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7483914.stm

Paul Dempsey, from Darlington, badly injured Rosie Bonner, 39, with a kitchen knife at Binns, Middlesbrough in January.

The 33-year-old had been discharged from a mental facility a week before the attack, Teesside Crown Court heard. He was sentenced after admitting attempted murder at an earlier hearing.

The court heard Dempsey had been sent to a secure mental hospital in 1995 following two previous attacks on women in Darlington.

Psychological reports, prepared before sentencing, classed him as an extreme risk to women in the future because of his strong sexual fantasies, and rare form of schizophrenia.

So of course he was let out.
