House of Lords 3rd July 2018
Read below the enlightening remarks of an unelected law maker. Booted upstairs she spouts this rubbish. If she believes it she ought to know the Sentencing Guidelines. If she`s looking for publicity by being outspoken she should resign. One more reason to abolish the House of Lords.
Baroness Corston Labour
My
Lords, I, too, welcome the fact that the Government have abandoned
their prison building programme in favour of women’s community centres.
That is certainly better than anything that happened under the
coalition. However, I point out to the Minister
that in 2017 one-quarter of the women sentenced to prison were serving
sentences of less than one month, and 217 women were sentenced to less
than two weeks. What action are the Government going to take to stop magistrates imposing these ludicrous sentences?
