Rejected petition Jail Sentences must serve the Full Time

More details

All jail sentences must serve the full period of time that a judge decides is suitable to fit the crime. Early release for good behaviour does not qualify for early release because that should be the normal behaviour and anyone not confirming to that should have their original sentece increased.
