I Rape Whenever I am Bored - Prisoner

                            prisoners

I read this news on i0l news and I feel it is worth sharing with my dear readers. A prisoner in South Africa who was granted a special remission of sentence is back behind bars after breaking into a house and raping a woman because he was bored.

The man was released from a prison in Wepener, Free State on May 8 and allegedly committed housebreaking and rape offences on May 22. According to the Department of Correctional Services, the man said he had committed the crimes because he had nothing to do. The man is one of the 37 783 prisoners who were released from prisons across the country after President Jacob Zuma granted a remission of sentence to certain categories of prisoners. He is not the only one back in jail.
Within a month of their early release, 47 are already back behind bars for murder, rape, attempted murder, robbery, assault, kidnapping, theft, stock theft, possession of drugs, possession of stolen goods and housebreaking.

When asked why they committed the crimes so soon after their release, they have blamed boredom, homelessness, hunger, poverty, drug addiction and unemployment as the reason they re-offended. Na wa oo, see madness, and according to the news, many other people killed again days after they were released. I think they should be locked and the keys thrown in the ocean.
