Here I go again!

One of the hobbyhorses that I wished I didn't have to keep riding is what I see as the inappropriate use of imprisonment in sentencing.  Latest example is two months inside for a lad who took a photograph in a courtroom using his mobile 'phone.  No question he broke the law, but what on earth is going to be achieved by sending him to prison?  Particularly at a time when serious consideration is being given to allowing TV cameras into courts.  It just doesn't make any sense.
