CONVICTS are to get one-to-one help to put their lives back together and save taxpayers' cash.
Criminals jailed for up to 12 months will get a mentor after their release to help them get a job and stay out of trouble.
In Humberside, more than half of all crimes committed are carried out by ex-offenders and last year, £23.5 million was spent on reoffending in North Lincolnshire.
Now, a £350,000 scheme – the first of its kind in the country – will help released prisoners quit drink or drugs and find a home and a job.
Developed by Hull-based Goodwin Development Trust, the mentors are for ex-offenders who have served less than 12 months.
Just the one problem - the offenders must WANT to change and most serial offenders are quite content with their lifestyle choices.
My suggestion to the authors of this worthy scheme is to be ruthlessly selective - otherwise considerable amounts of time, effort and money will be tragically wasted!

Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
