Recently retired Chair of the Parole Board, Sir Ron Young, is saying short sentences may be doing more harm than good.
"We can't do anything about the crime that someone's committed who's already in prison," he said. "We can try and do something about the crimes that they could commit by reducing reoffending, and that's putting huge effort into rehabilitation."
