Quote from: Mups on Today at 12:05:09 PMAnd regarding the so-called 'Life Sentence',   why are they even allowed to call it that, when it is never usually anywhere near a life sentence?   
It's called a life sentence because it never fully clears - they are released on licence when the the parole board decides that they can be but they can be recalled. For instance Jon Venables was recalled.

Oh I see.  Thanks.
I still think it needs to be updated now though.
For example, how can they say a child pervert can be let out early on 'good behavour'?   
There are no little kids in prison to tempt him are there,  so of course he has been  'good!'
