Unless you amend/repeal the various New Labour laws that you have spent twelve years moaning about the effects of, nothing will change.
As for me, I would be more than happy to send fewer people to prison, but the people who do get sent down for serious offences should be in there for longer. I would also like to see hanging brought back for murderers, and even introduced for particularly bad nonces, but we might just have to dream about that one.
