Overall I would support stiffer punishments for those who falsely accuse others but I am not sure Prison would be particularly the best way forward.

One thousand pounds penalty for each word of libel spoken or written, falsely, on someone else's behalf, if justified. Spaces, pauses, and common punctuation(commas, periods, semicolons, etc) are only 500 hundred pounds each. Ers and Ums are 4000 pounds a pop. Let's see those false ranting idiots make their cases with words per pounds at stake. Rich liars can end up paying for new libraries, or helping out schools or other great causes.
