Don't Imprison Parents (Ooops! Make That Mothers)

Cherie Booth, the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, is apparently about to propose that mothers be sentenced far more leniently than others for given crimes. Her idea is that, if mothers are imprisoned, there is a negative impact on their families. The effect on families of the imprisoning of fathers is, of course, given no such consideration. Maybe the UK should just imprison the children's fathers for the crimes of the mothers.Source: Times Online
