Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostLife imprisonment for murder can be as little as 12 years and an offender can be out on parole after 6.
I don't disagree that some of our sentencing is poor, but it's important to understand the nuances of a life sentence vs an ordinary sentence.Comment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostThis is not true - the tarrif (prison portion) is given as a minimum - if they get 12 years, then they will serve a MINIMUM of 12 years. And unlike other sentencing, there's no guarantee of release at the 12 year mark and even when they are released, the life portion can never be served. So they can get recalled to prison etc.

Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostOK, but even 12 years is clearly too low. Life imprisonment should mean they die in prison.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
