Top judge attacks early release
The most senior judge in England and Wales has criticised the early release of prisoners under a scheme to reduce prison overcrowding.
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, said it was "an erosion of the sentence the judge had imposed and anticipated would be served".
He added it was not desirable and it would be better if there was a clear sentencing structure.
More than 18,000 offenders have been released early since last June.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
