Prisoners on licence can go to work on what is meant to be re-hab but that is not very many.

The DTL is one of the largest departments in Government, they have to many staff that do nothing but sit on their fat arses all day doing sod all, get them out to marshall at least they could then say they have done something for the Islands Tourism
