Like lots of people I am getting sick of the lack REAL punishment being handed out by our courts. Their main concern seems to be Prison costs money. Well we pay money to be protected from these people!

How can you fine someone that has no money, what's the point? Unlike you and I and the remainder of working folk, we have or, are expected to be in pocket. Easy targets.

| 29-4-2008 | The Police are to busy counting the cash from speed cameras to do real policing. The Judiciary are just as bad, the worse the crime, the lighter the sentence.
You can be jailed for non-payment of council tax.
You can be fined up to £1000 or even jailed for no TV licence.
You can be fined and...more | Cynic |

| 07-4-2008 | Punishment certainly does not fit the crime these days; it appears that if you deal drugs, commit theft, acts of violence or public mayhem, you are sent to an Open Prison like Usk in Monmouthshire, where you are able to walk out at will. Get committed for acts of terrorism, and you have your redicul...more | Cynic |

| 16-3-2008 | I work in prisons and know a fair majority of prisoners see it as a comforting break from their family life. Life inside is very cushy. It's more like a social club. I would support hard labour in the form of the "chain gangs." Prison is definately no deterent at all for breaking the ...more | old grouch |
