Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 December 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sentencing (Green Paper).
Sentencing (Green Paper)
I am sorry, but that person is a nasty person. Just because someone is not violent does not mean that they are not nasty. I contend that the reason that they are reoffending is that they never serve their sentence in full. Even if someone is sentenced to 18 months for shoplifting, no one in this country will ever serve such a sentence. They might be sentenced to that, but the chances are that they will be out reoffending within six months. My contention is that such people need to be in jail for at least a year to enable proper rehabilitation to take place.
