I wonder if this young man will even goto jail, and for how long. We never ever get any follow-up to these stories. No doubt he will soon be back on the street and continue his criminal career.

Why do people think that?

Looking at the jails, overfull, they are putting many people away and keeping them there for a very long time as well.

We don't know what to think as we never get the follow-up. That was my real point.

Yes, that is very true. I would blame the reporting, but thinking about it, whenever they nab somebody back home for burglaries or something similar there is also never a follow up.

Well there you have it ! I thought I had just mis-placed the Frosted Corn Flakes.....

Exactly. These guys get nabbed, but then what?

I favor restitution, let the criminals work during the day, then pay compensation to their victims.

Opps, sorry I was dreaming

Yes, I think there is some confusion about this since there have been high profile cases of RICH and CONNECTED people who kill people with their cars and never see the inside of a jail cell.

If you are poor, they throw the book at you. The sentences are usually ridiculously long as well - though the annual round of royal pardons can often contradict that. Even then, there has to be a certain amount of time served.
