How are offenders sentenced in England and Wales?

Thanks to our friends at Christine Graham Consultancy for the heads up on this short You Tube video from the Sentencing Council entitled How offenders are sentenced in England and Wales

It’s quite a simple explanation, but I suppose it’s been produced to be understood by everyone. 

Having watched the video you might like to read The Rehabilitation Game by Theodore Dalrymple of The Spectator who writes about the use of electronic tags worn by prisoners after early release from prison.
