Released at half time

Resting in Peace
Overlooker
It appears that the justice system are to start releasing prisoners halfway through their sentences, instead of the two thirds because of over crowding, the release of 500 will start next month. its not shorter sentences we need its bigger and better jails and sed out the message that crime doesn't pay, instead of the joke system we have at the moment:mad:

So when they do it again, then what?
They get told "No, really, please don't do it again, we aint got enough room!"
 
very stupid way to go, the next step may well be = don't gaol em fer what they term the lesser crimes. n they say crime don't pay.:mad:
 
The majority of prisoners are in for petty crimes anyway. Might as well just fine them instead of forking out to keep them in prison. I think prison should be exclusively for people who are a danger to the public, and those who commit massive crimes like fraud and stuff. I think I'd include benefit fraud in that too though, as fining probably isn't the best option for those who are already on benefits to survive :p

I don't think this is that bad of a proposal, could potentially sort the whole thing out, or as most of you feel, it may fall on its backside.
 
they should brin back the death penilty for these dirty scum ;that need to stay in prison for life ; then they will have more room ;

Out of interest, which country would you choose to go to?

I am studying courts, law and politics in the comparative perspective next year as one of my optional modules, so I'll be able to recommend legal systems to suit all your needs :)

have to disagree about the spanish police, having lived there, they sure don't take any crap off chavs IMHO.
 
I've said it before, if its good enough for our call centres its good enough for our jails, OFFSHORE THEM! I bet a year in a stinking Indian jail, 50 to a room with a hole to pee in would soon focus them on rehabilitation when they did get out!

I bet the indian goveremnt would probably oinly charge a tenth of what it costs to keep them over here as well!

Quite right, excellent idea! Unfortunately not one single politician, Labour, Tory or Lib Dem, would have the guts to implement it.

Seems reasonable to me. Then we could bring the call centres back to England ? Is that too much to hope for?
