    I don't know how may people were watching this last night. It annoys me to see that Telly tries to portray these guys in such a sweet light.

    I found it funny also to see how much care goes into trying to rehabilitate then and give them an education and all that. I wonder is as much care placed on the victims family. Does the government pay for them to go to college for loads of qualifications or give them loads of free and constant counseling to make sure they are alright.

    Any comments or ideas

    They might be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure but it is at the taxpayers expense. I think it would be more economical to try and rehabilitate lifers if possible.

    The victims family is not a similar expense.

    I didn't watch the programme so couldn't comment further.

    Why so though, i don't understand the whole help the crime doer, not the crime sufferer mentality. Would the victims who were killed not deserve some form of help that these men receive for what was their own actions.
