Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

Is the hon. Gentleman really saying that the only way to stop prolific offenders reoffending is to incapacitate them by locking them up for the rest of their natural lives? Does he not accept that a longer-term solution entails some measure of rehabilitation to reduce the number of prolific offenders and to avoid the revolving-door process whereby they go to jail but the moment they are back on the streets they reoffend?
