Things just don't seem to add up.. the vast majority of the post on here (and probably the general public) say more offenders should be jailed, but the man in charge of policy on young offenders put in his resignation today stating the reason for his resignation was that Goverment policy is swamping prisons with young offenders convicted of minor crimes.

I don't know the exact figures but the prison population has gone up by several thousands over the past 8 years,the goverment claim to have created provisions to accomadate 20,000 more convicts than ten years ago and that offenders are more likely to face jail now than in the past.
