I haven't even read any further than this, but HAVE to say to you - you have absolutely no idea just HOW to the point you are here! I live in South Africa, where we are currently witnessing 18_000 (let me say that again : eighteen thousand) prisioners being released just to make more room in the jails. This is true. Not only that, but in true form they bungled it and let 100 convicts of the wrong category go free (arsonists, violent criminals and accused murderers). We are told on the news by a sheepish-sounding representative that these people have all been recaptured and are again behind bars. No fear, folks. The streets are safe. Aaah, nothing like a little confidence in the powers that be, eh?!
