It's good to see that His Honour Judge Paul Worsley, Q.C., only recently appointed as a Judge (and a good friend of mine) has shown his Yorkshire commonsense and handed down a weighty sentence to these scumbags.

If you took your head out of the pages of the Daily Mail once in a while you might discover that, in the real world, PRISON DOESN'T WORK. Brian. |

PS A similar pair were locked up in Manchester not so long ago. It's a bloody waste of money and, in the long term, turns bad lads worse. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/4421129.stm |

Indeed, this does appear to be true - though it depends on your concept of what a prison is for. Graffiti scum should be birched, hard. That's what they do in Singapore, and it does work, remember all the hue and cry a few years ago when they were going to birch an American boy who thought he was above their laws? They have very little anti-social behaviour, simply because they punish those who try it, in a harsh, painful, way. It's quick, cheap, and doesn't cause any significant lasting damage. Far better that sending them to a cushy jail where as you say, they just learn how to do more crimes while enjoying all the "rights" we insist on giving them, and costing about 12k a year (or is it 20k?) per prisoner to run. -- - DJ Pyromancer, The Sunday Goth Social, Leeds. http://www.sheepish.net Broadband, Dialup, Domains = http://www.wytches.net = The UK's Pagan ISP! http://www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk http://www.revival.stormshadow.com |

Well, I'd suggest that for the next year or so a lot more money will be saved by the Police, railway companies etc. in not having the clear up after these two every time they feel like airbrushing a train or two. In the limited sense (and I'm claiming no more) that prison keeps vandals from continuing their acts of wanton destruction (as well as any other crime) whilst they are off the streets, of course PRISON DOES WORK.
