no mistake about it: after David Cameron, the rewriting of the bill, rehabilitation revolution of Mr. Clarke is in ruins. His first impulse was to end the avoidable incarceration and reinvest the money to do something more productive to do than bad people. The detail consisted of drug treatment, work and training, but also - especially - in the specific plans that have reduced the number trapped in 6450 compared to existing plans. Most of this reduction would come from a sensible measure to alleviate the pressure on the courts of Great Britain squeak, increasing the discount for a guilty plea.

• Clarke, threatened all last week with some singularly ill-chosen words that created the impression that some violations were not serious. After that, the Prime Minister may have felt he had no choice but to suspend the further reduction of the most heinous crimes, which he did two weeks ago. Now he has gone further. He rejected further reductions in all areas, and postponed rationalization in desperate need of public protection sentences for an indefinite period, thousands who are unjustly beaten after their prison sentences are longer. Suddenly, these movements knocked around 4000 cars registered theoretically, probably enough to ensure that the current account of the prisoners will not stabilize but continues to increase. As if determined to ensure that the inevitable result, Cameron also announced new mandatory jail - the type of initiative of attraction associated with Tony Blair at worst, and completely reduced by the willingness expressed by M. Clarke , to restore the discretion of the judge who heard the facts of the case.

As-Sadiq Khan said the work, now there will be reductions of probation, reductions in teams of youth crime and a recent stretch of prison resources. What Mr. Khan did not say is that compensation is emerging against the product of a rotten political culture, which is part of the task. After Mr. Clarke has promised to give space to the reform, Ed Miliband, called for the head in the middle of the row for the rape, and his party was to condemn outright termination of custody for crimes that do not attract imprisonment after conviction - one of the crumbs of the Attorney General has been registered. Even the Liberal Democrats fell eerily quiet. Many considered the possibility of private gain control of a prison population out of control as one of the most tangible benefits of the coalition, but the usual value of the third part of the criminal justice seemed to give up hunting for Mr Clarke friends.
