What does this say about our rehabilitation programmes for people that are incarcerated? I get it may not work for everybody but how was this man not seen as a risk and released?

He never should have been allowed access to a smartphone with internet access, or allowed out of prison for that matter.

Disgraced singer Gary Glitter to stay in jail as parole bid refused

In 2015, the 81-year-old, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed for child sex offences and then, in 2023, less than six weeks after he was released halfway through his 16-year sentence, he was recalled to jail for breaching his licence conditions.

Castration should do it.

Pete Phipps (it says here) still performs as the Glitter Band. Also in Mud (70s glam rockabilly combo, not the soil/water wrestling medium).

It's mad when you think that we chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay. The bloke who invented the computer and had a massive part in cracking Enigma and "winning" the war. It took 60 years to pardon him too, 50 years after he committed suicide.

Yet this bloke, who there is absolutely zero doubt is an animal gets out after serving about 10 years total (of about 20 years of sentencing), despite being convicted loads of times in loads of countries, and many after he'd already been in jail.

I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have known, or at least didn't have an idea, whether they've ever denied this or not.

When you're on tour you're basically living in each others pockets, especially from back then.
