I saw an article in the Evening Standard yesterday by Nick Hardwick, saying he wants the parole board to publish as much of their information as possible online, allowing for medical and victim confidentiality. The media have already decided that Rule 25 must go, because it stops them dredging up lurid details of old crimes. I can see the need for greater involvement of victims in the process, but the media? If people are reminded of someone's offences just before they are released, how will that help resettlement and rehabilitation? It's bad enough dealing with media reports without the MoJ joining in....

If you are to punish a man retributively you must injure him. If you are to reform him you must improve him. And men are not improved by injuries. (George Bernard Shaw)
