What's going to happen to everyone arrested?

[peebles32]

So there have been 400 arrests. Courts are open longer and these idiots are been dealt with.
However, what will happen to them? I don't know much about the court system but I know there aren't enough places in prisons.
Will they get community service, fines etc

It obviously has to be tough to be a deterrent from others doing it. Will these people actually care if they have a criminal record?

I mean they just can't arrest everyone so how are they going to stop people rioting?

Hopefully have their faces plastered over the news so they will be sacked from any jobs they have and everyone who knows them will know that they are a racist violent thug with a police record stating so too!

I'd love the Bibby Stockholm to be reopened for them ...

Tags and curfews?

Slap on the wrist

I imagine prison works teams will be working hard to get a lot of offline cells back into working order as well as the new places that are being created.

Don't forget with the temporary closure of HMP Dartmoor, the prison service lost over 600 spaces AND had to find places to house them all. That added to the pressure of lack of spaces.

Why do you say that when those who rioted in 2011 (under Starmer as DPP) were sentenced to over 1,800 years

They're finding a solution to remanding these racist thugs and you have a go at the government? Really? That's your takeaway from this.

Good grief.

If convicted of violence or terrorism then jail.

Lots will plead not guilty & will be up to the police to show evidence of their misdoings. Expect quite a few to be discharged or found not guilty.

Early releases planned in September

Well, planning to create a traffic jam means a 5 year prison sentence, so, presumably, actually creating or participating in a riot will mean a much, much longer prison sentence.

The one's that get done for wilful fire raising are fucked...
That's a bit more than a breach of the peace charge.

If they all go to prison, who is going to fill the 500 jobs they all leave behind whilst they are behind bars? Their employers have already been very generous letting them have time off to riot. Oh, hang on a minute....

Good!! Crocodile tears no doubt!

Well Robinson apparently is the son of Irish immigrants so his British passport & citizenship can be revoked for starters. He can fuck off back to Ireland no disrespect to Ireland, just my sympathies if they'll have him. Actually Ireland should tell him he's not welcome as well & then he can be stateless in limbo just like Shamima Begum.

Yep!
And I hope this will be followed on too.
After all those laws (that I actually find awful tbh) were brought because some people had issues with the traffic jams. But no one has ever said it was ONLY about climate change activists.
Let’s follow the law.
And find the people who have organised those riots (the ones who called to meet up at x time or the one who offered £500 for each police car burnt) even if they weren’t there and punish them the same way.

The police in Cyprus have also said they are ready to arrest him as soon as Britain asks.

Lawrence Fox is in Ireland. He should be arrested for inflammatory tweets. Or X's whatever they are called.

Cyprus should tell him to f off in case he starts trouble over there. The home office should cancel his citizenship and passport pronto. This is such a golden opportunity to make a proper example of him. If they did it for Shamima Begum why not for TR?

I hope they give them long sentences, it’s a deterrent. Stop the other thugs going out and doing the same.

It was a Tory policy actually. Well publicised before the GE. No one is gaslighting anyone.

I’m not surprised that the police are throwing the book at the rioters. Some of them are in for a shock. Back when the 2011 riots happened, I knew a police officer who said they were going to nick the rioters out of their beds when they were least expecting it.

I was taken aback by the length of some of the sentences back then. I remember one woman who hadn’t taken part in the riots but was given a looted pair of kids’ shorts for her son. She was sentenced to five months in prison (although later freed on appeal). Meanwhile, two young men in Chester were each sentenced to four years in prison for trying (unsuccessfully) to organise disturbances via Facebook pages.

Maybe they'll make a bit of space in the prisons by deciding that environmental protesters shouldn't be locked up for 5 years after all.

Britain's most senior prosecutor has questioned whether heavy sentences given to last summer's rioters worked as an effective deterrence, challenging the received wisdom from senior judges and politicians.

Most prosecutors – in contrast to Starmer – fully endorsed the sentencing approach by judges that saw rioters receive an average sentence of 16.8 months, making the penalties four and half times longer than the average jail term for similar offences in 2010.
