Hardened crooks to serve full prison sentences as Boris Johnson takes tough stance on crime
CONS will no longer get out of prison early under new tough new plans to be announced by Boris Johnson this week.
The huge sum has been approved by the Treasury with the Prime Minister describing the investment as being "long overdue".His plan will include a 1,000-place jail alongside an existing category A facility at Full Sutton, East Yorkshire.And home secretary Priti Patel is to announce more than 8,000 officers will now be able to use enhanced stop-and-search powers in all 43 police forces across England and Wales.
Under the Criminal Justice Act 2003, any criminal who receives a non-life sentence - and is not deemed to be dangerous - can leave prison when just half of their term has been served.For prison sentences of 12 months or more, crooks spend the first half of the sentence in prison and the second half in the community “on licence”.
