In just four days James is facing the prospect(前景;可能性) of sleeping on the street. He was released from prison in August and given temporary probation accommodation in Somerset, but that is about to expire(到期;失效) and he has nowhere to go(无处可去).
再过四天,詹姆斯就将面临露宿街头的命运。他于八月获释出狱,被安排住在萨默塞特郡的缓刑临时住所,但该住所即将到期,他无处可去。
“It is scary,” the 37-year-old said. “I am not asking for special treatment. But literally(确实地;简直) nowhere wants to help – I have contacted MPs, solicitor(事务律师)s, probation and the council. I am quite tempted to just get myself recall(召回;收回)ed to prison because it is November. It is cold.”
「这很可怕,」这位37岁的男子说。「我不是要求特殊待遇。但真的没有任何地方愿意帮忙——我联系过议员、律师、缓刑机构和地方议会。我甚至很想让自己被召回监狱,因为现在是十一月,天气很冷。」
Charities and probation staff have said that prisoners are at risk of(有……的风险) being released into street homelessness, exposing a “fatal flaw(致命缺陷)” in Andy Burnham(安迪·伯纳姆,大曼彻斯特市长)’s plan to try to end rough sleeping(露宿街头) in England by Christmas.
慈善机构和缓刑工作人员表示,囚犯有可能在获释后流落街头,这暴露出安迪·伯纳姆在圣诞节前终结英格兰露宿街头现象的计划存在「致命缺陷」。
