Jack Straw recently announced a pilot scheme for 'virtual courts'. The idea being that instead of the accused attending a proper magistrates court, the whole thing could be dealt with in extra quick time via video links, I suppose the next logical step is to dispense with the hearing altogether and automatically find the defendant guilty without all this inconvenient legal process we hear about.
Alongside this, the use of chaingangs... sorry that should be "intensive Community Payback" will be extended to even more unemployed offenders across England and Wales where they will have to carry out demanding work for at least 18 hours a week. This will ensure a significant loss of liberty and free time for more offenders, who must now wear branded orange jackets so the public can see that justice is being done.
So I suppose they think that wearing a 'branded orange jacket' will embarrass offenders into not committing crime in the future ..... in my experience this will be seen as a badge of honour amongst the gangs, afraid Jack Straw has no concept of how to deal with people, has he actually ever met any ordinary folk or is his world confined to the lofty atmosphere of Westminster?
