Why kick me out of jail with 50 quid and not expext me to go back?

Question

was in jail for serving heroin to people who wanted it then after 1 year kicked back out on street with nothing! did loads of courses in prison but with no back up when released what are my Chance's of being a good citizen.

Answer 1

I think you'll find that now you are out in the world again you are also entitled to all the benefits and help that other people are, and as a 'rehabilitated' criminal you will be given extra assistance from your Parole Officer to find employment and housing, which if you can't find a job the council will pay your rent and council tax and the job centre will provide you with JSA.

And one quick point, but those people you were selling Heroin to were addicted, therefore they didn't 'want' it, they craved it.  Don't try and kid yourself that you didn't hurt anyone by your actions.

Answer 2

It's up to you

Answer 3

Mmmm let me see how about taking responsibility for yourself rather than the nanny state doing it for you.

Answer 4

Well, you got internet access, what more do you need?

;-)

Answer 5

Did you expect them to kick you out with an index linked pension for your services to humanity ?

Answer 6

Don't blame others for your crimes and punishment. Get a job you pathetic t**t. They are only addicted because people like you involve yourself in the supply chain.

Answer 7

Your life is your responsibility if you are deemed as an adult.  Make your choices wisely this time around and put one foot in front of the other to keep from going back to jail for unlawful behavior.  I wish you the best.

Answer 8

Get a grip.

If you want to go back to prison, just carry on thinking like that. Lots of people do, and spend most of their lives behind bars.

Being a good citizen is not for their benefit. It's the best way to have a safe and pleasant life.

Remember, you have choices, make the right ones and you can have a safe and happy life.

Make the wrong ones and it's back inside again.

You choose.

Answer 9

Oh brother!

Are you saying that because you were caught, locked up and released. The system should pay you more to get by.Your kidding right you can't be that pathetic.

You took the courses because you were bored while doing your time, that was your back up plan now apply it.

Answer 10

If that's your attitude, then the chances are zero. Hurry up and violate your parole. We're better off with you on the inside.

Answer 11

I managed though it was not easy, it depends if you've had enough jail. After my last 5yrs I'd had enough.

Answer 12

If you view being released from prison as being kicked out, you evidently plan to go back, anyway.

Answer 13

You're chances are nothing if you don't WANT to become a good citizen.

However, creative, smart people choose to solve their money problems legally.  If you took courses in prison, see a social worker and try to get work.  They can help.  You seem too intellegent for this c**p.  You spell well, you took classes- you STARTED to take steps ALREADY, why stop now?

Answer 14

You already know the answer to your question! If you don't do the right thing, you will probably be returned to prison. I object to taxes being used to keep people like you in prison or out of it. Get yourself a job, have some self respect and stop taking the easy options.

Answer 15

Just get a job.  McDonalds hires everyone.

Answer 16

you are your own person do what the f**k you like stop blaming other people

Answer 17

Some people have less money than this and manage to become decent citizens. Don't resort to selling heroin again which is what you were doing. Try visiting the Job Centre and ask what is on offer, or go to college and get some proper qualifications. There are loads of things you can do and people who will support you. Good luck  

Answer 18

I have no pity for people like you,serving heroin,you mean selling it.

Answer 19

Try getting yourself a job. It's something normal people do to earn money and contribute towards society.

Answer 20

Your chances of being a good citizen are good - if you stay off drugs, stop selling them and perhaps get a job and have some aspirations.  Perhaps you could start by working for a drug advisory charity as you have first hand experience of the downfalls of getting involved with illegal substances.

Answer 21

If I had my way!You would have nothing!Haven't you sponged off the taxpayer long enough!

Answer 22

I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective.  It doesn't matter whether you got let out of prison with £50 or £5.  Ultimately your long term future is in your hands.  The greatest influence on your future is that grey squishy matter between your ears.  Ultimately what you 'think' will decide whether you go back inside or not.

Obviously, if you have been once to prison, this indicates that you have the kind of unhelpful thinking and attitudes that leads to the crimes that leads to the prison sentences.  I am not judging you.  I did two borstal sentences when I was young.  I am also not against all crime, but I am against harming myself and behaving in ways which don't really help me.  I believe the road to happiness is not lined with drug deals.

Do you read?  Try any book by the psychotherapists Albert Ellis or Windy Dryden.

Good luck

Answer 23

Sure.

Why not?

Check-in to "Hotel California"

Does not come cheap.

If 50 quid is cheap.

How about "The room at the top of the stair"

That cost a bit more in time.

With the courses in having it while on vacation.

See what can one do with it to be a "Better man" in time.

Create own business or services out of it.

Then market oneself in town.

Start it small at a reasonable price for food and lodging too.

Then later upgrade with fringe benefits.

To make this world a better place to live in time.

What do you think?

Answer 24

That depends on you. If you wanna be a good citizen, make that happen. You can't use jail as an excuse to go back to selling drugs. Try to find a job and work hard to make sure you don't end up where you were.
