Prison Cons

There is no transparency in sentencing and a gigantic fraud is being carried out on the British public. I am talking about 'Life'. How final it sounds. Like the sound of a door slamming shut. Forever. Except it isn't of course. That door will open in 12 years time and the toe rag who murdered the little boy by thwacking him over the head fourteen times with a saucepan and then stabbing him ten times will be out walking the streets. 12 years gentle reader.

So dishonesty and deception is at the very rotten black heart of the British justice system. Call it 'Life' to make it sound final and damning and then let the psycho out after 12 years. This Orwellian corruption of the language would have shocked George himself. He couldn't have made it up.

We must demand honesty in sentencing. 'Life' must be excised from the penal lexicon. Let them be forced to say what it really is so we can all see what a hollow sham,what a disgraceful travesty of justice is being perpetrated. Make the slimey judge say '12 years' so we can witness the debasement of the law in all its wicked depravity.
