Armed Robber With 13 Life Sentences Released From UK Jail Temporarily, Doesn't Return, Nobody Is Sur - Polidicks

[quote=ITV]Police are appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of a prisoner who has failed to return to a prison in Kent. Michael Wheatley, who is 55 years-old, was released on temporary licence from HMP Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent on 3 May but has failed to return. Wheatley was given thirteen life sentences for a sting of armed robberies. Anyone who sees him is asked NOT to approach him.[/quote] [url]http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/update/2014-05-05/hunt-is-on-for-armed-robber/[/url] Seriously I'd love to hear from the morons who made this decision, of course he wouldn't return, what has he got to lose?!

So you can just.. ask to leave jail in England and they'll let you go? The fuck

Failed to return? I'm honestly fucking surprised they didn't put an ankle monitor on him. to people rating dumb; are you clicking this for no reason? explain yourself.

The Daily Mail seemingly hasn't caught on to this one yet, and it was only the distinctive lack of words like words like "scum" in the quote that gave away the fact this wasn't the DM

It doesn't sounds like it was intentional, rather a paperwork error or something.

You would think they would have sort of check-in system in place for something like this rather than "Alright see you in 5 days"

He may of had temporary release for compassionate grounds (Attending parents funeral/etc). We don't have a bond-style system, so it's judged on how likely they are to be a danger/trust.

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;44728220]so it's judged on how likely they are to be a danger/trust.[/QUOTE] He got multiple life sentences and was willing to beat a 73 year old woman over the head. How the fuck is he up for "judgement on how likely he is to be a danger/trust"

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;44728252]Don't ask me, sounds like somebody screwed up the paperwork.[/QUOTE] somewhere there's a dude in for petty theft with good behavior marked as "extremely dangerous, do not accept appeals"

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;44728140]Failed to return?

Ankle monitors aren't fueled by unicorn blood and leprechaun magic. Anyone with a bit of time and a cutting tool can remove them. And sure, while removal might even trigger an alarm I doubt they have teams to respond immediately. Even with as little as ten minutes lead time- hes gone.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;44728110]I don't understand our justice system sometimes. well, I don't understand it at all.[/QUOTE] It's broken - there is no understanding it anymore

If you're already serving 13 life sentences I don't think you really care about breaking the law anymore.

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;44728220]He may of had temporary release for compassionate grounds (Attending parents funeral/etc). We don't have a bond-style system, so it's judged on how likely they are to be a danger/trust.[/QUOTE] I guess an armed robber who is known for pistol whipping people and who has 13 life sentences is trustworthy enough.

Prison has a door, but the grave doesn't.

[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;44729983]Prison has a door, but the grave doesn't.[/QUOTE] Bit confused.. Are you advocating the death penalty? This sounds like a colossal fuckup in data management. Even if it was for a funeral, someone with that record would not be let out.

Just. This country.

What're they gonna do- give him a 14th?
