Mercy and forgiveness for crimes committed
DEAR EDITOR, 
With the pardoning of some prisoners by President David Granger there are some people who believe that the Head of State erred; that people who commit crimes should spend time in prison for the crimes they committed.
People who commit crimes should also be forgiven for their crimes. What kind of society will we be should we condemn people who commit crimes, to live forever in captivity? Or, even take their lives as punishment for their crimes?
Punishment for crimes is important to send a strong message to criminals. However, mercy and forgiveness are just as important. Therefore, President Granger has not erred in pardoning some people.
We should be looking to develop a kind and caring society whereby we look out for each other and help each other. Guyanese society has been fractured too long by distrust between our peoples. We need to rebuild trust.
