Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
My Lords, it seems to go without saying that the longer one keeps the young away from the experienced ungodly, the better. To raise this age from 17 to 18 seems to go down that line. A distinguished judge said to me the other day, ““I know prison doesn’t work—but Michael, what am I to do?”” That seems to sum up the problems that we have with prison. What we know is that the less you mix the older with the younger, the better. For that reason, I support the noble Baroness in her argument.
