STRAW REJECTS REHABILITATION PROPOSAL
Home Secretary Jack Straw has ruled out
a plan to rehabilitate vicitms of
miscarriages of justice who are freed
after many years in jail.
Mr Straw said he was not convinced it
was necessary to set up a separate
prison system to prepare innocent
vicitms for life outside jail.
Chris Mullin MP said long-serving
prisoners were always re-habilitated.
But there was no such care for inmates
whose sentences were quashed, he said.
