I think it's safe to say that when he is found he will not be returning to an open prison. Let's hope he is found soon.

"Last year, the Deputy Prime Minister introduced greater scrutiny of Parole Board recommendations on open prison moves and may reject a recommendation unless prisoners can demonstrably pass a tough three-step test, including proving they are highly unlikely to abscond; that the move is essential for them to work towards future release; and the move would not undermine public confidence in the wider criminal justice system."

If I hadn't just read this, no way would I believe it. Article says Marshall was "caged" with a life sentence....? I'm sure the victims of these SA perps are just thrilled to know they can just walk away if their placement ends up being a parole board failure.

Jolly Old England, indeed.

Ok I get people convicted of low level non-violent cases being put in such a facility, but a rapist? Really? I swear, the way the legal system values the freedom and lives of perpetrators over victims, gets extremely frustrating at times.

Particularly with a life sentence!!! Wounding with intent sounds quite sinister in light of this. Wonder what the circumstances of the offence were. Imo

Interesting. From 2006 so age checks out.
