The trouble is that there hasn't been enough investment in the prison system under successive governments for decades now and consequently, there isn't anywhere to put them all. We all moan about the level of tax we have to pay in this country, but I for one would be happy to pay a bit extra so that the kind of prison sentences that Keith suggests, or even harsher sentences in my opinion, could be imposed on the kind of people who commit these crimes.
