Prisons Full - sentencing
Notifications OFF
Hi All,
It's a beautiful day, loving the weather but always conscious of current events we're all facing.
I did see the thread about prisons being full to capacity very soon, just awful.
Does anyone know regarding sentences , is it still that any custodial over 4 years then they would serve two thirds of the sentence? It used to be half didn't it. I really think sentences need looking at as a whole as being in prison, from what I hear and see, does nothing to help those convicted and instead creates more suffering for prisoners and families.
I think sentences are harsher now too and the whole system needs looking at and changing to alleviate the heaving breaking prison service. There's obviously a lot not right with the prison system as it is, apparently there are more on remand too and more on recall than ever before, surely that means rehabilitation whilst in prison is failing massively hence the reoffending .
