I mean to be fair, that’s how prison is supposed to work. Rehabilitate the person so after, they’re fit to become a normal member of society again.
Of course, that’s only the theory of a few enlightened people…
That is exactly how it should work and not nearly enough people recognize that. It’s part of the social contract: You break the rules, you get punished. After the punishment, you are a full member of society again.
Otherwise you just get punished again and that should not be the case.
Fair enough, the whole point of the prison system is to rehabilitate people who commit a crime to hopefully minimise the risk that they’ll commit crimes in the future, and return them to the world to be a net positive benefit to society from there on out.
If we lived in a world country where we assumed criminals could never be rehabilitated and would simply continue to commit crimes after their time in custody, why even keep them alive wasting time and resources? That system would benefit from simply executing all criminals on the spot.
Which would be insane.
No it would benefit from selling them as slave labor.
Probably got a bit too hot under that wig, smh.
He was given 21.5 years in prison, it’s not gonna matter much if he can apply for a license after getting out from that. Looking at him, I’d say he’s around 45-55, so 21.5 means he’ll be aged to the point of more likely to fail the exam then pass it.

That judge’s outfit looks completely goofy. That’s not his real hair, right?
No it’s traditional attire that judges wear here in the UK
That’s his wools (white horsehair), hence the phrase ‘pull the wool over his eyes’. They come from the reign of Charles II and have a symbolic purpose that shows both anonymity and authority.
I think only judges at Crown Courts would wear them these days. You wouldn’t see them in magistrates courts or county courts.
They also used to be used in the 17th century to hide symptoms of diseases such as lice, hair loss, scabs etc.
Thanks for the explanation!
Imagine this mf tells you you’re gonna die in prison.
Judge, your hi vis robe is distracting me.
Car brains doing car brain things.
He can apply….
This feels like we’ve buried the lead.
Would denying him a license stop him using a car to murder?
I’m sure he wouldn’t want to break the traffic laws.
