SIR – Obviously Will Richards had not heard the report of Justice Secretary Chris Grayling’s speech to the Conservative Party conference in which he outlined his proposals for male prisoners to be moved to a jail nearer home in preparation for their release. He also wants them to have a mentor and accommodation sorted out before release.
The plans seem to be identical for women so no sex discrimination.
These plans seem very sensible and should be welcomed.
I suggest that Will Richards checks facts before going on a rant.
