        @BBCBreaking because we've proven prison works so well at rehabbing these sort of things... terrible, short-sighted, populist lawmaking.

        @BBCBreaking Obviously the Government don't trust the judges anymore, sentencing is a judge's job not a politician's.

        @BBCBreaking Should be zero tolerance on first offence. What a weak justice system we have.

        @BBCBreaking understandable but it may also serve to push vulnerable young people into a criminal system when they themselves are victims

        @BBCBreaking @GlosCityPolice So you could commit a 2nd murder with a knife before you get a mandatory jail sentence? #howitreads
