Was that smoking or non smoking sir?

In his car?

What sort of damn prisons are we running?

If he had a damn car it should have been sold to pay for his accommodation!

MURDERER FOUND DEAD

Sorry Zeigfreid, but here in the US it depends on which state you murder in. In Liberal States such as Oregon, murderers walk the streets. In more Conservative States such as Texas, they are in jail. We, however, have a group called the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) that tries to get everyone from terrorists to child molesters out of jail. PS, the ACLU is very Liberal!

ESCAPED MURDERER FOUND DEAD

Well, at least it saves us taxpayers the expense of keeping him in a life of luxury. Although, we Brits sometimes moan about Americans; but when they sentence killers, they give them 50, 80, 100 year sentences and they mean it too.

What the hell was a multiple murderer doing in an open prison in the first place? Still, on this occasion, things turned out all right.

MURDERER ABSCONDS FROM OPEN JAIL

Why on earth was he in an open prison? Prison is just that, PRISON! 'Open' and 'prison' just don't go together. This man should be locked up for LIFE, yes LIFE, where he should die. The poor people he killed, don't get a reprieve from death, they don't get to have a second chance in society.
Its this ridiculousy easy sentencing that does nothing to discourage murder in this country. People would think twice if they really thought they would be locked up till death and under harsh conditions.
What a joke we have become.
