Thanks to Dominic Casciani and BBC Online News for the Headline
Not too sure what it’s like in other Countries, but there definitely is a problem with managing crime and rehabilitation in this Country. For whatever reason the Prison Service both in the Private Sector and in the Public Sector is suffering from overcrowding and the Courts seem incapable of coping with the amount of cases that are being dealt with.
This legislation which is ” The Sentencing Act 2026″ , will keep offenders who may have got a short confinement jail sentence in the community , and will free up both space and rehabilitation in prison’s for more serious offenders.
It’s effects should be immediate, with the option now of not going to prison many less serious offenders may choose not to go to trial and may plead guilty. Statistics say that if they go to prison they are more likely to become repeat offenders , but hopefully their opportunity to remain within the community will encourage them to not repeat their misdemeanours.
Thankfully Parliament have been doing something useful.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
