Go to Jail make bail

@sarky Said

Jail sentences are just a guidline that each judge has to follow when sentencing someone for a crime.
The reason for this is that no two crimes are the same.
Every case is unique and the reasons/background/provacation etc are never the same.
News/newspapers only ever print half the story.
For these reasons 2 people could commit the same crime but get different sentences.
Without knowing the full details of each individual case how can we know what a sentence should be for that particular crime?
Some very placid, easy going people are charged with thins that may be completly out of character for them, who know,s the extent they may have been provoked?

My whole family is in law enforcement and I know the rules and laws . I understand your point but this has nothing to do with a sentence this is the initial time someone is held after an arrest for a violent act. In my opinion a few hours is not enough.

@sarky Said

well before release there are usually conditions which must be abided by, unless there was no charges.
People shouldnt be in jail until found guilty unless they were a serious danger to the public.
For one there just wouldnt be enough prison space!

@Wingsy Said

Just because there are conditions doesn't mean they obey them

@sarky Said

Over here if they dont obey them, they will be arrested or you can take out an injunction against them.
They will also face further charges which most dont want.
What i dont agree with are men who are really pushed to the limit especially when blackmail over seeing the kids are involved.
Women can be pretty vicious too!
There are two sides to every story, and majority dont just flip for absolutely no reason.

It just amazes me how someone can do some of the most hedious things and only spend a few hours in jail before they are allowed to make bail. I know I know in this country you're innocent until proven guilty and you get a bond on the presumption of your innocence. Still at times it makes no sense to me . People can beat the snot out of someone and destroy their property and they are out of jail within hours and our until they go to court which in some cases can be a very long time if the court systems are clogged up.

I know there will be some arguments against my statements here but I know how I feel and why I feel this way. I deal with domestic violence issues on a daily basis with the shelters and it just gets me everytime how they are put back out on the street before they've even had time to get over whatever pissed them off so much in the first place. This happened to my best friend a few years ago . Her ex beat her up and he made bond within 12 hours and she was dead in less than 24. I'm just really upset this morning .
