Re: Teenager 'killed for being gay'
Sentencing is a difficult call. I'm in favour of 'ethical' sentences. If you give someone 10 years then they should serve the 10. However, I can understand that in reality it makes prisoners easier to manage if they know that good behaviour can get them time off. That must make life a lot easier for the prison warders.

Still, perhaps we're approaching this the wrong way? Maybe bad behaviour should buy them extra time rather than the other way around.
