Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Population.


Prison Population

Is this not yet one more blow to honesty in sentencing—the relationship between the nominal sentence and the time spent in prison? For example, how long will someone who receives a sentence of six months’ imprisonment spend in prison if they are released either under the provisions that the Minister announced or home detention curfew?
