This shows how sick and lacking compassion the people are that administer justice in the UK.

35 years! He should have been released a long time ago.

He is being disproportionally punished for a victimless crime i.e. absconding. This is not justice. This is vengeful spite in action.

He has already served long enough for the crime he was originally imprisoned.
