Sad but true, makes you yearn for bygone times well within living memory. When plod was a hard nosed copper unhindered by sensibilities & touchy feely equality, a "You're nicked sunshine!" & a size 10 crushing your neck while your arm was being dislocated as it was shoved up your back.

Judges & judiciary gave sentences that were sentences & time in a nick was not like a Butlins break, you wanted out & were damned sure you didn't want to be back inside ever.
