Criminal absconds on shopping trip.

Options
A woman prisoner gave guards the slip when shopping. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8360380.stm
Det Supt Gary Gornell said: "This individual is dangerous and we need to apprehend her as soon as possible. If anyone sees her, please don't approach her, but call police immediately."

Then why the **** was she out shopping then?
Has the world gone mad?
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Something to do with her Human Rights to be allowed to collect handbags and shoes ;)

    Think this country has certainly gone barking mad. Why on earth would you let a dangerous prisoner out on a shopping trip? Her guards certainly did a good job.

    The world have gone crackers if prisoners are taken out on shopping trips. The fact she was detained in the first place was for killing someone and still allowed out shopping is a disgrace.

    I would love to hear the reason she was allowed out in the first place.

  • She needed therapy, retail therapy.

    How could she afford to go shopping in the first place ?

    She'll have probably had a few grand compensation for her prison cell being a bit drafty or something like that.

    This story illustrates perfectly just what is wrong this country.
  • I feel sorry for the victim's family....the victim can't go out Christmas shopping so why should she? :mad:

    Sometimes towards the end of their sentence they start taking them out to begin reintroduction to society. But she was ordered to be detained indefinitely and had only been in jail 2 years!!! Makes you despair about this country at times.
  • Hopefully the idiot in charge will be for the high jump, but more likely the minion will get shafted. I can't imagine anyone less than the governor would be able to authorise something as horrendous as this.
