I didn't say he should be shown leniency .
I was making the point that imprisonment is an inappropriate punishment for many who end up there .
It is costing the people of the country millions of pounds each year to keep many in prison for whom an alternative sentence would be better . e.g. tagging or hard work doing worthwhile community service .
