Sentencing BillContribution
I can reassure noble Lords that, as the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, the noble Lord, Lord Foster, and my noble friend Baroness Chakrabarti rightly pointed out, we are not abolishing short sentences. We are not trying to empty our prisons. We will have more people in prison than ever before. But this is one part of the story. The other is a focus on reducing reoffending and public protection.
