While prison isn't for everyone there are some people who don't have a hope in hell of ever being 'reformed' and without fail they get involved in crime, normally at a more serious level, within hours of getting out of pokey.

I don't doubt any of that sadly!
Maybe it'd help if the sentence handed down was actually the sentence served. Why wouldn't it be - I mean you don't get away with paying 2/3 of your bills do you?
I reckon each time someone reoffends they ought to have any previous custodial sentences added on. That might focus a few minds but for those who carry on regardless at least it'd mean they're are out of harm's way for longer than is currently the case.
