Two young graf artists have been jailed for 15 and 12 months by Manchester Crown Court for causing £13,000 worth of damage to trains, train stations and other transport related property. They didn't drink and drive, didn't sexually abuse someone, they didn't deal drugs, commit any kind of violence, didn't steal anything, break anything - just painted something, an act that can be easily reversed. But the courts have jailed two young adults, stuck them into jails full of rapists, thieves and drug addicts, instead of making them clean up the "mess" they made and contribute their talents to society in a more productive manner.
Manchester Crown Court should be goddamned ashamed of themselves. An insane sentence for a minor crime, and I really hope that they are taken out of their custodial sentences ASAP.
