That wouldn't make sense, you still need to house them for the next 10 years - d'you mean a shortage in 2021?

I hate to do this with a first post but if the victim had been white do you think they would have only got 10 years?

They are from Glasgow - the average lifespan for a weedgie is still less than the rest of the UK - so maybe 10 years does mean life in this case.

minimum sentences

You cannot sentence someone to life without the chance of parole at some time in the future as it violates their human rights and this is the MINIMUM they will serve. There is no right to be released at this point they can simply apply for parole that is all.

They seem to [thankfully] have done just that for Sutcliffe

Life does mean life, insofar as they remain under sentence after release: on parole for life, and any further criminality can see them going back to gaol straight away.

The minimum tarif is just that - the earliest point at which parole can be considered. Whether that is sufficiently long or not in any given case is another question...

They dish out proper prison sentences in the United States.

Darron Anderson got 4000 years each for rape and sodomy. He also got 1,750 years for kidnapping , 1000 years for burglary and robbery, and 500 years for grand theft.

He's eligible for parole in 12,744......so only another 90 centuries to go then.
