Released at half time

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

Re: Released at half time

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

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.

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
