The last thing needed is to emulate America in any way at all when it comes to the justice system; they have an appalling record.
What needs to happen is that Home D should NEVER be used for anyone convicted of a violent crime. How does a gang member involved in a shootout in a public place and party to murder get bail at all? How does a gang member who committed a violent sexual assault on someone and who continued to threaten the victim get home D?
