Sentencing expert warns of confusion and unintended consequences if Custodial Sentencing Bill passed
Thursday, March 15, 2007

It’s supporters claim that it will result in greater clarity and honesty in sentencing. However, the reality is that, as currently framed, it will result in greater confusion, longer prison sentences, and a substantial rise in the prison population.
