David Lammy and The chicken Chidren

Prisons may be 97% full but some people don't belong there and treatment is so soft because 'officialdom' is scared of violating someones HR.

Why put someone in prison for fraud/embezzlement instead of making them work to pay back what they fiddled?
Why put someone in prison because they can't afford to pay their poll tax at the time but are expected to start making payments when they are released?
The whole system is crazy and geared towards the offended rather than the victim.

The system is geared to increase consumption and spend. Putting someone in prison for non payment of council tax costs more than the council tax that needs to be paid.

Its certainly true the prison system is broken
Austerity cuts are the major cause.

From 2011/12 to 2014/15, NOMS (National Offender Management Service) decreased its budget by close to a quarter. In financial terms, that equates to around £900 million. As might be expected, these cuts have had significant impact on the prison population. Incidences of suicide and self-harm have risen, assaults on staff are now more common, and conditions continue to deteriorate in many UK prisons.

I agree that offenders rights seem to be put above victims.

I seem to recall that rapists had a right to have a say on their childs life.

But nevertheless, if the end result of the criminal justice system is to lower crime rates and thus fewer victims, harsher sentences arent the first port of call.

So what’s the solution - let anyone off if their crime is below the cost of keeping them in jail? Nah, everyone will be doing it. They go to jail as punishment so that hopefully they learn a lesson and don’t do it again and as an example to others and sod the cost.
