Grey Power on sentencing law
Grey Power members are alarmed at Andrew Little’s proposal to introduce reduced sentences for criminal offending. If you need more prisons build them,you dont solve the problem of to many lions in the cage by letting some of them out. As recent annoucements have clearly demonstrated the senior citizens are more impacted than most by crime.How many more honest decent people do we have to see living frightened broken lives because of lenient sentences and lax parole laws.
Prisons do work criminals can’t offend against the public when they are locked up. Prisons should be punishment not holiday camps.
