over crowded prison's

Is this really a surprise?

Forgetting the fact that society has no control, no respect or any consideration for other's (due to the fact that many parents no longer instill these in their children anymore) how about the fact that the legal system is out of control?

A murderer or rapist can be released after 10/12/15 years, yet how long has Ronnie Biggs been in jail for the train robbery?

He hasn't been released because he hasn't shown any remorse! What they mean is that he is being honest and not lying, saying he know's he was wrong that he was naughty etc etc just to be released. Do they really think all the burglar's. mugger's, rapist' and murderer's that say they are remorseful REALLY are? If that was the case why would so many of them re-offend for the same crime?

Not exactly rocket science is it!

The law is an ass

A couple have been convicted of theft and dishonesty! For finding a lottery ticket ON THE FLOOR and then when they realised it was a winning ticket, claiming the prize. Surely if you lose your ticket, it's your loss... you don't expect someone else to find it and hand it in for you? What makes this worse is that they have actually pleaded guilty to the theft charge (what was their lawyer doing?) and been convicted. They were given an 11 month suspended sentence for this. Yet burglars, car thief's, muggers and many more get away with just a slap on the wrist, or a couple of months. How is this a fair and impartial legal system, and does it really restore any faith in it? I think no!
