exactly. Tinks, its about him going to prison when it's convenient for his family, and when it will cause less disruption to society, not at all about him. He has to be there when
they say, not when he decides is convenient. It's ok you can work get money, be a dad in the week, but you will be here at the weekend no matter what. It's also only available because it's for petty offenses.
Tagging is another scheme that still punishes people by making them a prisoner in their own home after 6 each nightm but allows them to get a job, and look after family. I've got a friend on a tag at the moment. She can't step over the doorstep after 6.
It's far better than her clogging a cell up at an open prison, or at the high security prison that she was at at one time.
I can't agree with putting someone thats defrauded money with murderers.
Prison should be for rapists, murderers peodophiles and dangers to society
