Some would be thrilled to hear that

[Dangee]

Any other examples of the convicted that it would be more “civilised” to serve their punishment at home?

The one's that didn't have allegations made against them were sneaky enough to not get caught.

Any other examples of the convicted that it would be more “civilised” to serve their punishment at home?

If they are no threat to society, if they are unlikely to re-offend, and the loss of reputation, etc is the biggest punishment, and they are imprisoned, then prison is more about revenge than punishment, and it is likely to radicalise the offender, mixing with those other career and violent criminals.
In such instances of Sarkozy (i.e. unlikely to reoffend and no threat to society, etc ), it is more humane, more economical, more sensible to punish them in a civilised manner. They are, in effect, being subjected to the 'stocks' and public humiliation without the violence.

What do you think would happen to Joe public if they had been convicted of the same offenses?

which uk pm has been jailed ?

More appropriately, which UK politicians have been jailed?

• English politicians convicted of crimes‎ (126 )

• Scottish politicians convicted of crimes‎ (31 )

• Welsh politicians convicted of crimes‎ (9 )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_politicians_convicted_of_crimes​

AND which UK politicians/PMs have been suspected of acting illegally but not been properly investigated? Or even, when found guilty of acting illegally, or against current restrictions, (or suspected but never charged) have escaped any punishment entirely?

Furthermore, how many UK politicians have been appointed to cabinet positions or nominated for peerages after being convicted of crimes?

Except for the fact that other people who might be tempted act in a similar manner will see Sarkozy getting off likely.

Imprisonment is a deterrent as well as a punishment.
