Inside out: How to fix the UK’s prison system + Labour embraces unpopularity
Pia Sinha
So sentence inflation, some of it is because of perception of showing overtly that you're tough on crime. So when I started in the prison service 25 years ago, an average life sentence tariff would be something like 12 years. So even if you got a life sentence, it'd be 12 years tariff and then you'd be eligible for parole. It's now... pushing 20 years.
