Time Doesn't Half Fly !

Time always seems to go faster when you are enjoying yourself. It seem just
the other day that this loathsome little toad was led downstairs.
But if he was sentenced to 18 months in July, I'm not sure why is back out again after only 6 months ? The trial lasted 2 months longer than he has been in jail !

Oh...er.... has he applied to kick a football around at Sheffield ?
Oh and perjury in scotland - our legal system prides itself on internally inconsistent orders - like ' thou shalt not go near X ' and 'thou shalt deliver court papers to X '
and when you question how, all the judge shouts is " Neeeext "

Quite simple, Mikey.
Firstly all prisoners serving determinate sentences are released at the halfway point. This is automatic and unconditional. So this knocks his sentence down to nine months. Secondly, almost all prisoners sentenced to four years or less are entitled to release under the "Home Detention Curfew" arrangements. Those sentenced to twelve months or more are eligible for release after serving 90 days less than half their sentence. So, ninety days off the nine months is six months. That's why time flies !!!

Me neither Mikey.
The first reduction (the 50% off) is an outrage. I cannot remember it being introduced but it was not probably sneaked through under an umbrella of other changes.
The blurb provided to explain HDC says that
"...certain short-term criminals are released from prison several weeks to months before the completion of their sentence to allow them to integrate back into society."
It does not explain why that integration has to be facilitated by early release. It can be achieved just as well when they have served their full sentence (well, half of it, anyway). Of course these are both measures designed to keep the prison population down and both are deceitful in the extreme.
