| 763856 | 2009-04-10 19:54:00 | I was reading this (www.nzherald.co.nz) when I got to the part it talks about how corrections were told that a school nearby was an Adult Training Institution. In less than a minute I found the address and the website for the school and the first image you see is of children. It boggles the mind that someone who has had a perverse history would be moved to the place so close to schools and the address approved by the word of a supporter. On the off chance staff arent allowed to use the internet as part of their job I am sure they could have used the other thing on their desk called the telephone. :groan: |

| 763857 | 2009-04-11 00:21:00 | You would have to wonder... and yes I found the Ficino School site in seconds, and as you say the home page is mostly a photo of three kids. Taking someone from his supporters group at their word was unwise to say the least. But the real problem is the concept that offenders of this sort should even be released, when clearly they are untreatable. He has already offended on parole/ release before, and has a long history. Too often when this subject is debated, somebody will inevitably say "but they have to be released eventually" or something similar - but why? There is no good reason to release an offender like this, he will never be fit to live in human society. They need to be kept isolated for life. Regards Peter J |

| 763859 | 2009-04-11 07:36:00 | Last I heard - you could email someone at Corrections but they couldn't reply unless they had some sort of formal approval from their manager to be allowed to send email outside Corrections. I suspect most Corrections staff don't have internet access. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 763860 | 2009-04-11 08:24:00 | Correct you can receive email, but sending you have to get permission. Because most are disabled. And EDS (who were the people who had to get it in writing (by the manager) enabled it. Only a few people had email access (managers, and some admin who dealt with court services, me included) |
