I hate this community service, restorative justice, suspended sentences, sit down with the probation officer and have a cup of tea type of crap.

Prisons need to be places that send a cold shiver through the criminal, harsh, austere environments that they don't want to return to. We need reintroduction of hard labour, birching, flogging and the rope.

That would bring the crime wave to a juddering halt
