You are still putting words into mine and others' mouths to suit your own argument. The whole point of this debate is that the prison sentences are laughably lenient and therefore the loss of freedom for a short period is NOT deterrent. If, as a lot of people believe, such people are "sick", they should NEVER be released to re-offend, so why are they? And since justice has therefore not been served, it seems the answer according to you is "oh well".

It's easy to do a runner when you have a weak argument isn't it?
