Children 'should not be jailed'
The prisons inspector has called for an end to the incarceration of children, after an "unprecedented rise" in the number of inmates under the age of 16.
I am confused by this report because Scotland's justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, said there were currently no under-16s in prison. And yet, Scotland's Prison Inspector, Dr Andrew McLellan, claimed that there was "an unprecedented rise in the number of imprisoned children".
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.
