Most of the suspended sentences appear to be for reasons you'd expect, I suspect any informants wouldn't be appearing at all - let off with a caution or whatever. But the whole thing seems so pointless - and expensive for the taxpayer. There also seems to be a lack of consistency in the sentencing. 1 gram = prison 1.1g = suspended sentence It has the feel of a very heavy handed sentence to justify the huge cost in man power. The new chief is obviously keen to fill the prison ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 1 hour ago, Roger Mexico said: But what is really clear is that none of the big dealers or importers seem to have been charged. These are the lowest-hanging of fruit and the whole operation looks like an expensive waste of time and money, even before you consider the extra cost and pressure of jailing eleven people for an average of nearly 3 years. Maybe the Police will take note of the Nobles/S100 incident last night? Declare all criminal activity is now off (or ignored) because they prison has been filled up with guys from the pub who can get you a bit of Coke to liven up your night? Out of interest, what happens when the Prison is actually full, which surely it must be nearing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwebs Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Ho much does it cost to put someone in the Jurby Hilton for one year? Maybe £80,000 per person? Very roughly this lot will cost the taxpayer something like £3.5 million. What does this achieve? The "War On Drugs" never worked, other than jobs for the boys and black funds for those who cannot be named. Another rip roaring win for the politicos, double gins all round. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 9 hours ago, La Colombe said: 10 years for a bit of Charlie? Bonkers. 8 years is manifestly excessive as well. so based on those numbers and the 8 years new sentence and add to that that prisoners usually only serve half their time he will be getting released soon , i guess its one way to make room at jurby for those waiting to get in that keep having their sentencing delayed until there's space up there.

Our Kops is one of those that think MHKs all sit in big meetings together and discuss and decide on everything on the Isle of Man, everything.
