> She had not been in trouble until recent years, when she descended into crack cocaine addiction with “incredible speed,” her solicitor Yvonne Bambury said.
Is it plausible that she got convicted 241 times in a few years?
Reading these numbers I can’t but help but think of the resources involved and time wasted. Surely it makes sense to hand down a custodial sentence, after a specific number of convictions?
Had addiction? Community service and treatment centre, no more escaping convictions.
Headline should read “criminal justice system fails woman and her community 292 times”
Looking at all the numbers above, why the fuck wont we send women to prison and build more prison spaces for men
It’s really hard to know what to do with people like this.
Do we lock them up and throw away the key?
Do we continue to put up with them and offer support for their addictions whether they avail of them or not?
Or should we force them into treatment centres with the threat of going straight back in if they don’t stay clean?
It’s really hard to answer that, but there must be a better way than what we are doing at the moment.
€215 worth of groceries… so like two loaves of bread and some butter?
Legalise weed, use the tax revenue to pay for addiction services, allow judges to sentence people to residential treatment. If that doesn’t work, send them to jail for a stiff sentence and offer treatment there too.

Is that a new high score?
