This is not a justice system, it’s a laughing stock.
No wonder the criminals are queuing up to get back in. No worries about expenses and bills, jobs and food prices. In fact put me down for one if Theresa May and Co have time – it reads better than any hotel I’ve been in.

The majority of people who eventually receive a short prison sentence have already gone through every non-custodial option available.
