Nothing has changed. We will still see stupidly short sentences for many crimes that deserve longer, and generally messed up sentencing levels. I actually believe that all should have a right to review, but only in light of compelling new evidence. That's what this is about - right for review.

[Boris the spider]

And cry it's against their human rights to be locked up for the rest of their living days after being sentenced to life...

Life should mean just that, regardless of the namby pamby state.

A life for a life.

They've also need to stop handing out pathetically short sentences.

That and what Skudd says, making the idea going to prison actually be a deterrent would have huge benefits to society.

[Skudd]

I've been party to sending so many people to prison, most if not all come out and carry on as they were. Most see it as a way of life, get fixed up while inside, all their medical needs met, good food, nice dwellings. Far better than most have outside in the real world.

If the police weren't such lying bastards who are willing to fit-up innocent people, I would be more than happy to see full-life terms abolished and replaced with a re-introduction of capital punishment.

I just like the prescedent of a higher level UK court telling The European Court of Human Rights "Fuck off, you're wrong.". Head-on on a direct point of law too, no fannying around the subject, they said "Our interpretation is right, yours is wrong, ours takes prescedence, this is what we're doing.".

Wouldn't really have mattered with regard to what, it establishes who is in charge. At least our courts are ultimately answerable to the people in that if they start sending down nonsense judgements, statute can be changed by the government of the day (and quickly at that if they put their mind to it).

The Strasbourg court on the other hand appears to be answerabe to no-one , or at least no-one who can be got rid of the the population of the country they are supposed to be presiding over, which is what freedom boils down to in the end.

How long does that deserve?

[-Matt-]

It would be a lot less costly and beneficial for everyone involved be it victims or future/current offenders if society spent time focusing on how people end up with these sentances in the first place and how prison life functions (or doesn't) as a deterant to such people.

Persisting in trying to lock people away for longer and longer/indefinately isn't an answer or positive for anything. It just satisfies peoples need for vengance and removes the guilt that often lies on everyone else to some extent for failing to prevent what causes half these crimes in the first place.

Its little better than a modern day colleseum displayed through newspapers and televison with the focus on prolonged mental suffering rather than being ripped up by lions as it used to be.

Makes a change to see the EU getting two fingers from us though

Locking people away for longer in prisons that are prisons rather than holiday camps would be a deterrent, which would be an answer and would be good for everyone.

On a separate point, trial by media doesn't help anything.
