But prison should be a last resort. matched

It should imprisonment should be the last uh step along the continuum. matched

And I think the key point in this is obviously um this woman uh because she has a profile, because of her background matched

And uh it sells copy, to be honest with you, her leading this. matched

But the key point is that she was an one of a number uh of women who were released uh from a terribly overcrowded place. matched

Yeah. matched

And again, really bad planning because it's a a relatively new uh prison. matched

And the bottom line is if they're at low risk of re offending, um these are the kind of people who should get early release. matched

I I fear what what lies ahead. matched

I mean the bottom line is this there there is obviously a right to protest and that right to protest is very important, but we cannot have a repeat performance of what happened just a few months ago. matched

Uh people cannot hold the country effectively to ransom and shut the place down. matched

It just cannot happen. matched

Now whether that means uh the army, whether that means the police, I'm I don't know. matched

I don't have the answers to those questions. matched

But I'm afraid uh if we do see a matched

repeat, uh is the country effectively going to be shut down again? matched

And uh the the following question is fearing that, does the government say, Okay, we're gonna keep the supports in play to cave this off and again effectively uh get bullied into a p a certain corner uh on the issue because of the fear uh of a protest that could have very bad consequences for people. matched

Yeah, well I I suppose uh there's press officers and then there's Caroline Levitt. matched

Uh you know, that's the that's the reality situation. matched

I very much agree uh with Kassania Samadi's analysis here. matched
