Suspended sentences

A suspended prison sentence is the term given to a prison sentence imposed by the court, and then suspended (ie 'delayed'). The court may decide to delay the prison sentence to allow the defendant a period of probation, to undertake treatment for an addiction, or to meet conditions in the community. These conditions include:

·         Having to stay away from a certain place or person

·         Doing unpaid work called “Community Payback”

If the person breaks the conditions of their sentence they can be sent to prison.

Fines

These are set by courts and can be unlimited amounts of money. However, the amount should be commensurate to the crime.

Criminal Behaviour Orders

Antisocial behaviour includes:

·         Drunken or threatening behaviour

·         Playing loud music at night

·         Vandalism and graffiti

This could lead to people receiving civil injunction, Community Protection Notices or Criminal Behaviour Orders. These have replaced Antisocial Behaviour Orders in England and Wales.

If anyone receives any of these punishments, you might need to:

·         Stay away from a particular place

·         Stop spending time with certain people

·         Work on improving your behaviour

·         Fix damage you caused to someone property

 	By the late 19th century most people agreed that there should be a separate system of trial and punishment for young people (see Gallery Punishment 1750-1900). The 20th century saw this put into effect.In 1902 the first Borstal was opened in Kent, soon followed by others. Their purpose was clearly to try to reform the individual by a mixture of training and care by a committed staff. In many ways they were run like a boarding public school, with house competitions and lots of sport the usual sentence was "six months to two years" -that is, offenders could be released after six months if the Borstal staff thought they were ready. If they were not, the offender could be obliged to stay for up to two years.In 1908 totally separate Juvenile courts were established, with different procedures and punishments. In 1932 approved schools were started for offenders under 15. In the last quarter of the 20th century the tide turned against the Borstal approach. There was an increase in crime, particularly youth crime, and public opinion was more interested in seeing the offenders punished. The re-offending rate of those leaving Borstal was fairly high, so their success was in doubt. Others were critical of the "six months to two years" sentence leaving too much power in the hands of Borstal staff. In 1982 they were closed down, replaced by Youth Detention Centres, with fixed term sentences. These had a much tougher régime, called a "short, sharp, shock". However, re-offending rates from these places was just as high as from Borstals.

Juvenile prisons

In 1908 prison for children was ended

In 1921 hair cropping and arrow uniforms were stopped

The borstal that replaced prisons for children were headed by officers called prison officers and these men had formal training 1921

1948 penal servitude was ended and was replaced with humane containment which used corrective training this entailed empathic treatment and generally humanising prisoners

Phycologists where used to support prisoners

Ordinary people were introduced to the system as prison visitors

Some prisoners believed that borstals were amazing as one states it  “taught me to read and write”

Prison category

After a spy escaped prison in 1966 four prison security methods were used the highest A was maximum security and then to D which was for open prison life.

Different category prison- Prisoner categories in England and Wales. There are four different security categories:

Closed prisons:

A

(High Security)

Those whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or national security. Offences that may result in consideration for Category A or Restricted Status include:

(Attempted) Murder, Manslaughter, Wounding with intent, Rape, Indecent assault, Robbery or conspiracy to rob (with firearms), Firearms offences, Importing or supplying Class A controlled drugs, Possessing or supplying explosives, Offences connected with terrorism and Offences under the Official Secrets Act[citation needed]

B

Those who do not require maximum security, but for whom escape still needs to be made very difficult.

C

Those who cannot be trusted in open conditions but who are unlikely to try to escape

D (open prison)

Those who can be reasonably trusted not to try to escape, and are given the privilege of an open prison. Prisoners at "D Cat." (as it is commonly known) prisons, are, subject to approval, given ROTL (Release On Temporary Licence) to work in the community or to go on "home leave" once they have passed their FLED (Full Licence Eligibility Dates), which is usually a quarter of the way through the sentence.

After WWII open prisons were started as a way of relieving pressure on overcrowded closed ones. It was cheap to buy a disused armed forces camp and run it as a prison. The men lived in dormitories and worked on farms or made boots.

The buildings were often very basic, they were often set in rural areas and are usually more difficult for relatives to reach than a closed prison in a town.

Changes in punishment                       In 1908 all child prisons were closed and borstal training began. In 1921 convict hair cropping began, and broad arrows on uniforms were stopped. In 1948 “penal servitude” and the old classifications ended. “Humane containment” by corrective training was the new policy. The prisoners were given as much of a human life as possible in hope this would correct them. This could include TV, good food and sympathetic handling. Psychologists were introduced to support prisoners and help them be rehabilitated. Ordinary people were allowed into prisons as were allowed to visit the prisons. Each visitor was allocated a prisoner by the prison governor. Capital punishment was abolished in 1965. With capital punishment abolished, other forms of punishment increased throughout the country. Some of these included fines, suspended sentences, community service, electronic tagging and detention centers.

In 1966, Lord Mountbatten led and enquiry about an escaped spy, and he recommended four categories for prisoners who attained different security risks.

They were:

Category A: This will be given to prisoners whose escape would be extremely dangerous to the public and also the police and national security. The aim of such a high level of security is to make escape from that prison impossible.

Category B: This will be given to prisoners who do not require the highest level of security, but will still need a high level to make any chance of escape from prison extremely difficult.

Category C: This is for prisoners who cannot be trusted in open prison conditions, but will not necessarily have the intention, the will or the determination to make any real attempt of escape from the prison.

Category D: This is for those prisoners who pose a low risk in relation to security, and protection of the public, and can be trusted in open prison conditions.

In 1902 an experiment in reformatory treatment was begun at Rochester Prison in the Kent village of Borstal to see if a treatment for young offenders could be developed.In 1908 Prevention of Crime Act ordered similar places to be set up and courts given the power to sentence young people of 15-21 years of age. Research at Dover Borstal in the 1970s showed that the longer inmates remained there the more likely they were to reoffend. Of those who left borstals in 1975, 85% were reconvicted.
