iansheff   86 #1 Posted January 10, 2017 A man was jailed for 22 years for his crime and told he must serve a minimum of 11 years. He has a long criminal history including alleged thefts from other apartments. Should our judges be more like this and give career criminals harder sentences?  http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/man-jailed-22-years-after-9593649 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared   302 #2 Posted January 10, 2017 Yep there are people out there with records longer than your arm, they're constantly out committing another crime while out on bail or probation, I'm sure that guy was just the same.  At some point someone has got to say enough is enough.

In cases like this prison does not work and it isn't value for money.....  It will stop him stealing stuff. Your stuff potentially, and if it's a burglary or theft from a car he'll not to be caught quickly - if at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe there are better and more productive ways to rehabillitate him and abopid spending as much money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe there are better and more productive ways to rehabillitate him and abopid spending as much money?  Some people can`t be rehabilitated. It`s a lot of money, but if it reduces the chances of people being burgled, a very upsetting experience, then it`s worth it. I think those in jail should have to work for their keep anyway, that`d help reduce the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
