@nprofile1q... its why the prisons are full, not from immigrants or small time drug dealers or even protesters (they all make up a relatively small part of the prison estate nowadays and putting aside the comparatively recent politically motivated sentencing the wider trend is not to send non-violent offenders to jail),

The bulk of folk inside are there because they've hurt someone, there's a lot of them, they are getting older and some are going in for their first violent crimes (or causing RTCs with injuries/fatalities through their own negligence or malice) when well into middle sage..
