Blunkett 'regrets injustices' of indeterminate sentences

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26561380


	Quote: Mr Blunkett, who was home secretary from 2001 to 2004, told BBC Newsnight that while he believed the legislation had been "necessary to safeguard the public", he "very much regrets" that the government was not clearer in setting out sentencing criteria for judges.

Yeah, unfortunately that's a general problem :evil:

Re: Blunkett 'regrets injustices' of indeterminate sentences

The numbers of people who get indeterminate sentences is very small. While they do have rights I think that they are better than ridiculously long sentences as in America. Some criminals should never be released because they will be a threat. Though many could be released earlier if they have reformed and are not considered a threat to society.
