I think there should be some sort of National Service set up for offenders, as opposed to sending them to prison. There must be a way of getting these people to serve a useful purpose, when they are not a serious danger to the public.
Yeah I agree, there's no need for these people to go to prison, a lot of people calling for a harsh sentence on this have a cognitive dissonance where they normally would agree that prison "does no good" etc. Prison should be for keeping dangers to society away from the public.
They should be given a community order where they plant thousands of trees, and chuck a tag on them so they can't go out at night. I would still give them an incredibly onerous sentence, but not one behind bars.
