Re: You couldn't make it up
It always amazes me that a prisoner can refuse to appear in the Dock for sentencing, I believe there are moves afoot to change this 'right of prisoners'. I wonder what rights prisoners have in say Russia, Saudi etc etc

Here in Oz all prisoners who were in custody during the Pandemic are to have 10% cut from their sentences.
But what about the rest of us who were also under curfew and lock down for a record length of time.

Re: You couldn't make it up
Ivan , it only occurred here in Victoria where our dictator thought it was fair as they had been locked up.
We all thought that was the purpose of a prison, obviously he thinks in a very odd manner.
