Sentencing
Opposition Day — [16th Allotted Day]
6:31 pm
Andrew Percy (Brigg and Goole, Conservative)
I thank my hon. Friend for his brave speech. No victim of crime in Brigg and Goole has ever written to me to say that they wished the people who had committed crimes against them had served shorter sentences. On this issue, he seems to be separating out the idea of prison from rehabilitation, but is it not possible to have both prison and rehabilitation by conducting rehabilitation in prison?
