I just don't see what the long time of incarceration will achieve, constructively. A huge fine, restraining orders, some kind of online ban - sure, that would make sense. But what is supposed to be achieved constructively by locking the idiot up for several years? It won't 'correct' him, will it? It might make him re-emerge feeling like nothing is left and therefore he has nothing left to lose. What niggles at me is that there's hardly any reflection on what the prison system is for, how it works and how expensive and inefficient it currently is. People just say, 'Great, another one banged up,' and then they get on with their lives. What tends to be ignored is what happens next. What happens next, typically, is a huge amount of public money goes on a plan that doesn't work as a plan beyond the initial 'send him down!' Belfield needed to be made to stop what he was doing to certain individuals, I get that. But if it's 2022, about four centuries since the age of Enlightenment is supposed to have started, and still the best we can manage is to lock him up for quite a while, then we've not been thinking very hard for a hell of a long time.
