| dc.description.abstract | The 'tough on crime' approach embodied in bail and sentencing law has had a profound impact on the trends around remand detention, including prison overcrowding of such an extent that it is estimated to have contributed to an additional 8 500 natural deaths in custody. Ultimately the policies have led, in practice, to an 'Alice in Wonderland' effect: fewer people are being tried and sentenced, while more than ever are denied their freedom without ever being tried in a court of law. | en_US |
