In America, this guy would (hopefully) be sent to an asylum and able to get out if his psychological condition was cured or radically moderated. Doesn't England have something similar?

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure he had a psychological assesment before going to court. However, we don't have that many in-patients on psychiatric wards these days, and care for the psychiatrically ill tends to be "community based" wherever possible. Essentially this is following a US (Reagan era?) style model. I'm sure this case will successfully appeal for a shorter sentance, sounds like the judge got out of bed on the wrong side. |

Give him the needle, or some lead.
Issue solved, giving someone a home society pays for is exactly what he wants. Prison should not be a reward. |
Re: Man gets life sentence for setting fire to two wheelie bins
The guy was apparently homeless. Problem solved.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, you have to admit that society is safer with him locked away, but by imposing that sentence the judge violated his Constitution protection against cruel and unusual... oh wait... nevermind they don't have that over there.

I only came to this post to discover what a wheelie bin was.
I am so disappointed. Perrier |
