In this episode, our hosts are joined by Nicky Padfield, Emeritus Professor of Criminal and Penal Justice, University of Cambridge, and John Bache, a magistrate and former Chair of the Magistrates' Association. They discuss how sentencing practices have contributed to our bloated prison population and what they hope to see out of the sentencing review.
