Hague calls for more jail terms

The Conservative leader William Hague has clashed with the Lord Chief Justice over penal policy, saying combating crime demanded a higher prison population. Lord Woolf urged politicians to avoid playing the "prison card", promising ever greater use of imprisonment as a crimefighting measure. He said custodial sentences were not always in the public interest and community-based sentences could be more effective. But Mr Hague laid out the case for even greater use of prison sentences.
