What with Lord Chief Justice Phillips saying that there are going to be too many 'geriatric lifers' in prison today and a few weeks back a paedophile was spared a jail sentence due to overcrowding where will it all end? It seems to me that the only way this kind of thinking can go is to the point where some crimes aren't punished at all. And then what.....?
I can't believe that the answer to crime is to not sentence people especially for murder. It's obviously an overcrowding and financial problem but there must be another way? It's pathetic to wrap the problem up in a load of tat about there being no need for many of the life sentences that are handed out. Isn't that what we already have appeal proccesses for along the way? Who cares if there are pensioner murderers locked up? It's not a reason alone to consider shorter spells in prison. Afterall most of their victims will have never even been given the chance to get to that age!

I agree, murderers SHOULD NOT be locked for that long,
HANG them, leaving MORE space for OTHER bad people to be locked up.
Lets start with the prick of a judge !!
The dead people or families don't get parole, do they ?

genuine ! yet ask your self why ? It has lots to do with the punishment no longer installation the crime. A only legal equipment is significant to carry lawlessness lower than administration.because we are a civilised society ,we've develop into to tender with criminals .they don't look petrified of the regulation.We also stay in a suing society, this suggests if someone is badly (or rightly )accused they can declare repayment.there is lack of policing on the streets to boot. we've Police help officials yet they don't look allowed to arrest absolutely everyone.Plus its hostile to well being and protection.human beings can damage out with more suitable at the moment .The threat free are literally not shielded from the incorrect doings of others.

Our legal system is crap. Murderers, etc. get out with a slap on their hand and someone who does some lesser crime is in for good. It doesn't make any sense. The whole system should be scrapped and started over. Too many legal loopholes. One of my teachers once said all law books should be burned, and we should go back to the original constitution and start over.

The biggest majority of UK citizens are law abiding, there's just a small minority of scum that are hell bent on making life difficult for the rest of us, and to make matters worse they seem to have the judges on their side. What is happening with the legal system, is there a bunch of morons running it, it looks that way to me.

The problem is we have let so much scum in from the world in general along with career criminals. The have turned the UK into the pits, there are more aliens in our jails than indigenous people. The answer is to take them to a boat and ship them out, then we wouldn't have a jail problem.

the answer is:> to put every convicted criminal in a large prison vessel, every assylum seeker, every person that commits violent crime: empty into the prison ship vessel. THEN : take the ship out to sea. station it by anchoring it to the bottom of the ocean. then leave em all there to rot

What do you mean BECOMING? I thought we already were.
Why do the racists have to chip in with anti immigrant drivel with every sensible question?

It's because Brown prefers to spend billions in Africa, and other countries, instead of in the UK.

The awnser to this question is to make drugs legal. That is why our prisons are over crowded is because of people doing drugs. I am a criminal justice major and have talked to people in prison. One girl was in prison because her boyfriend got mad at her and brought a dope plant to her house and called the police. Since the house was in her name she got sentenced to 10 years. And their are many more cases like that. I see no reason why we should be over crowding our pirsons based on drugs. And then releaseing a paedophile because they are too crowded.

yes, the country is going to the dogs. The government can see that, the public can see that but because we're too busy pandering to the human rights and liberal brigades nothing is done about it.
