The government vowed to reduce the number of females locked up and tackle the ‘underlying causes of offending’, its new 500 new prison cell plan proves it is planning to fail

The first duty of a government is the protection of our communities. When it comes to our justice system, surely the best way to do that is through a system that seeks to prevent crime and reoffending, by being tough on its causes. It may be a hackneyed phrase, but it’s one that stands the test of time.

Well I never, the independent showing its true colours again. So it's ok for men to be sentenced but not women. What a surprise. It is supposed to be a punishment for all or don't you believe In punishment

Neglecting about half the population. Bit sexist.

Prison does not work in the UK, it just warehouses criminals, little education & meaningful training, inadequate drug and alcohol treatment and many inside are mentally ill needing treatment but are locked up as a simple solution – why do other countries do it better?

Opinion: The independent opinionators are a bunch of aged school union activists who couldn't get a job in the real world.

Yeah. Only women. Go fucc yourself

This should cheer up conservatives who think even the most mundane of crimes should be punished by the death penalty

agreed, women are rarely the ringleaders of any criminal operation or any criminal activity a woman is involved with is usually operated by a man or a group of men with the women involved being forced to take part. the root of the problem are social issues.

Can't do the time, well don't do the crime

Opinion: Short prison terms for women and men are ineffective – investment is needed in rehabilitation
