Committed 200-250 burglaries in 2 years
Discussion
A local boy has (and is still doing) done about 200 to 250 domestic burglaries. He is not a druggie or anything like that. He will be going to court soon. How long would you as the public expect a chap like this to get in prison. I will not even begin to tell you how much investigation has gone into this.

If one set aside the leading nature of your question, would five actual years (would that be a ten year sentence?) sound fair?

Is that what you'd like or what you truely think it will be ?
To be fair I guess its obvious the answer won't be 200 years in prison but on the low mark. I'm not going to say what he is expected to get just yet. Would just like to see what the public think he should get and what they think he will get before I reveal all. Its a little like deal or no deal but no-one wins (well maybe him) and I don't have a little beard.
Just really interested as to what the public would like and if it is in line with what I and my colleagues would like to see.

I'll go for 6 months inside (so out in 3 
) given that he's got previous, otherwise I'd have guessed at a couple of hundred hours community service (what is that anyway? I've yet to see any chain gangs picking up litter or repainting the railings).
What would I like to see? About 3 - 4 years of genuine stripy suntan time. Never gonna happen though.
Incidentally... just wondering here. If he's convicted of burglary of my house, 6 Acacia Avenue. Can I then take a civil claim out against the little git for the cost of any damage that wasn't covered by insurance?
I'm just thinking that a host of CCJs would make future chavlife a little more awkward (ok, not a lot, but it's a start - particularly if you sent bailiffs after his Corsa & auctioned it...) or is that forbidden because he's 'served his punishment'?

Cut his hands off and see if he reoffends then?
Burgle his mothers house, and see how he likes it?
Send him to a work camp for 5 years to do back breaking physical labour building hospitals or a new railway infrastructure?
Custody will serve nothing but teach him more tricks as he sits in his comfortable cell watching Richard and Judy, if he even gets a custodial sentence as the prisons are full...

I'd like to see a short stint on the village whipping stocks - quick, effective and cheap
I suspect he'll get something less than a year in 'real' time.
There is another question here though - why did he manage to do 250 burgularies before he was caught and, from the way the OP reads, allowed to carry on whilst awaiting sentence?

But which side of Teenager??!!? 18 vs 12 = different punishments available...
Well, I say punishment, in the loosest possible sense of course....
Ok, I will take a stab in the dark and say they will ask him really really nicely if he would be so kind as to not do it again, and they will buy him a lovely PS3 and take him to Florida for two weeks...

Over a number of years 2.. we suspected him but due to his string of convictions for same he has learnt a lot about forensics. Currently out as to have him in on remand would reduce his overall prison time (you get 2 for 1 on remand). Some of them we were not aware he had done (he has admitted some) as tey had not been reported. There is more to it regards continued offending I can't go into.
