Bail.

One of the effects of this government not having built enough prisons is an appalling tendency to grant bail to people who should really not be given it.
You only have to watch a single edition of Crimewatch to get an idea of how many truly horrendous criminals are inappropriately treated where bail is concerned: paedophiles, rapists, perverts, the violent - many of whom have already been convicted and are having a ridiculous three week wait outside gaol for sentencing. [If you have a convicted paedophile, for example - why would you possibly need pre-sentencing reports? Just award the longest sentence available!]

Karen Brookes was knifed to death just three weeks after her estranged partner, Kevin Sainsbury - who had allegedly threatened to kill her - was freed on bail.

When you consider how abolitionists went apoplectic at the idea that executions might - only just might - result in a 'miscarriage of justice' once every few decades or so and even had to cheat and lie to make even that appear higher - it is beyond credence that as dozens die, hundreds are raped, thousands attacked and scores of thousands burgled by bail bandits, these sickening, self same people are only identifiable by their total silence and absence of comment.

Sorry Karen.
