The English government has stated that it cannot afford to build any more prisons, so it has come up with a way to solve the problem at a stroke - It has instructed the judges NOT TO IMPOSE PRISON SENTENCES ON ANYONE! If I could stop banging my head against a brick wall, I would have to cry.
The prisoners who are already in jail have complained about overcrowding (poor little darlings) so - (& again, please don't think I'm joking) the government has decided to let half of them out regardless of whether they've completed 1 week of a 10 year sentence, or more.
