Police send 'wish you were here' postcards.
ENGLISH Midlands police have begun sending out postcards with a picture of Birmingham prison and the inscription "Wish you were here?" to 700 former inmates in an effort to dissuade them from reoffending.In addition to boosting enforcement measures "...an important part of the initiative will involve attempting to encourage (former criminals) to move away from a life of crime," said assistant police chief Stuart Hyde.
A national study showed that ten per cent of Britain's delinquents are responsible for more than half of the country's serious violations.
The cards' addressees were responsible for some 47,000 of the offences committed in the Midlands during the last 12 months, estimated the police.
On the card is also contact information for those seeking counseling in order to straighten up.
"We will also be looking to other partners such as the probation service and housing agencies to provide the necessary support to help divert offenders away from crime," explained Hyde
JUST FOR YOU GEMMAK!!!
