As there is overcrowding in prisons why don't they introduce Day Release!

Sun is trying to get visible but more likely cloudy and light rain today as well as windy.
Many years ago in my farming days [ about 1955 or thereabouts ] it was so cold we could not get casual workers to work in the open fields thinning turnips. I found an old ex army greatcoat I wore and we had to do it all ourselves.
I got a week off and went cycling and had to stop at Balloch to get an old newspaper to stuff up inside my jacket it was so cold. At Crianlarich SYHA I was the only person in the hostel that night.
This was followed by an extremely hot spell in July/August and I was roasted packing hay into the top of a hay shed.
There is still hope for this year.
No idea if it was a cyber attack but all our medical establishments lost ability to communicate and eg prescriptions could not be sent from GP to pharmacy as well as sample test results from the mainland.

Is there not already some form of this? Not being conversant with the prison system I cannot be more precise.

Good morning from a very wet, windy & chilly Suffolk. Plenty of rain overnight and the next load isn't too far off looking at the radar while the trees on the other side of the rail line are swaying quite a lot in the breeze. The first coffee of the day has been had along with a banana instead of a biscuit for a change.
I think I'm going to need at least a windproof jacket over the light fleece jacket to keep warm while hanging around rail stations for the next couple of days.

Summer was Sunday before last here in Hamtun..
It's all my fault because we bought a new patio set in the middle of May 😒

One good thing about this lousy weather is that I've not had to spend money on getting a new bottle of sunblock as it's not been needed at all. I'm just wondering if we'll get to the longest day of the year before I need to dig out the P20.

Day release.Good idea they could do an apprenticeship to be a locksmith
Dog owners have had this for years it high time it includes cat owners. Every dog we have had has been chipped as we view it as being reasonable. Given the cost of chipping is about £20 or many organisations ect do it for free. If the fine was not set at a level to make many think twice about why bother. Or cost more to enforce it would be pretty pointless.
if they did get out the cell they'd not make it out the many gates within the cell blocks. Or past the dogs handlers walking round the perimeter. Even the other staff don't go near them. Also they are allowed anything that can be used to take impressions or anything to use for molding. Many prisons now are going over to electronic locks anyway.

great stretch of weather this week
Teeth attacked cleaned as expected. Found a parking space 3/5th mile from the hospital. Noticed the fruit and veg stall at the hospital was selling bananas at £2.35/kg. Captive market or not thats a huge difference to the 90p/kg in Sainsbury's. Picked up the required box of Patch Fix which seemed reasonable at £10.50. Few spots of drizzle on the windscreen on the return but otherwise it has so far stayed dry. Still that cold wind.
