Power to the People.

This is but another example of the cavalier and simplistic attitude our judiciary have to both criminals and the victims of their activities ... are they trying to maintain crime as a growth industry? Other examples are of course our parole boards (kwangos for the retired) and prisons themselves, where there appears an overriding ethic of the very behaviour of those they are entrusted to oversee.
Or perhaps this is simply an option to reduce overcrowding in prisons executed by those with little understanding of whom they are dealing with and the wider implications of their actions.
It would seem the latter.



& CYF, well what extra can you say?
