If I pop out of the end of this sentence into the world as a "reasonable man", can the prison service claim
credit for doing such a great job in rehabilitating me?
Or is it, as that old soldier Rab once said to me in the months before his death, "Prison doesn't reform you. It just makes you older."
I think Rab was probably right. If, and I am sure you are, 'a reasonable man' then it is down to your own integrity and intentions. Let's hope the 'popping out' bit won't be too long.
