Justice
There should be five levels of courts.
1. Supreme Court.
2. National Courts, (judge and jury trials) to form judgement on appeals to judgements of the Municipal Courts.
3. Municipal Courts, (judge and jury trials) to form judgements on all cases brought before it and if the Judge decides to send it up to the National Court.
4. Local Courts, will process all charged with committing a criminal offence except for those charged with an offence that would incur a sentence of greater than 5 years.
5.
Civil Courts/Mediation service at municipal
level. These will focus on disputes between individuals and individuals and
organisations, not involving the law enforcements agencies. The judgements will
be based on moral grounds (i.e. was the action in dispute fair) If mediator
cannot provide a resolution, it will be decided by its court. If the mediator
proposes a solution which is not acceptable to a party that party will be
required to pay a nonrefundable fee based on their wealth, before the case is
held by their court.
This court can refer the case to the Local court if they decide that a criminal
offence has been committed. The court will be able to apply fines and
compensation. Non payment of which will be a criminal
offence and the case then will be dealt with by the Local Court.
All
“Prison” sentences will be allocated….. See law and order
All fines should
be based on the wealth of the guilty.
The fine will be based on his/her income, plus 2% of the wealth of his/her
residential tax unit. (plus 0.5% any wealth of business tax units of which
she/he is shareholder) See
wealth HERE of the culprit.
Levels
of Convict accommodation
Highly secure accommodation
run by the Country/regional government. Limited to the most dangerous people.
(and the chances of release are minimal).
Secure
accommodation
run by the Local Government. For people who have been convicted of a violent
crime, people would be allowed, with approval, to leave for work (or work from
“home”), where 50% of their income (after tax) will go to their lodging with
their Basic Income while the rest, 50% of their income, will go to their
residential tax unit (i.e. their family or a nest egg for them on release).
When released they will go on to ….
Curfew
Accommodation
run by the Local Government. These will be warden run properties for up to 20
inmates. The inmates will be from the area from where they lived, if
appropriate, so they can carry on with their employment. Each unit will have 7 wardens, who will meet
once a week to discuss the curfew restrictions of each inmate in their
supervision and adjust them accordingly. The inmates, like the victims, will
have an appeal system to the local council which can override the wardens. Each
individual/inmate will only be allowed to appeal once a year. The wardens can
release any inmate if the inmate has been on minimal curfew restrictions for at
least a month and has somewhere else to go. After that if a majority of the
wardens think they shouldn’t be released they will have three months of
restricted life. The inmates will all be of the same sex in any one
institution.
This is where failed asylum
seekers will be held until appeal system ended or deported to a “safe country”.
Restricted
Life in the
Community. This will allow them to participate fully in society. Under certain
restrictions. (i.e. Not allowed to drink, contact a victim etc.) If they break
any restrictions within a specified time period they will automatically be
returned to Curfew Accommodation.
Detention
Detention in prison should used to rehabilitate the inmate. If a person is found by a
court of law guilty (see Justice here)
If a person commits theft or other minor offence they should be
assessed and if required a secure home environment say up to 20 inmates with a
warden in the local area of the person convicted. The person should have restricted access to
the outside world. If they do curfews
should be enforced. If bad behaviour continues eventually outside access will
not be allowed at all.
All
“Prison” sentences will allocated for a specific
time. The initial institution will be
decided the court. (see
Justice here)
When
that time is up and they are in “curfew accommodation” for a month they can
request release which should be granted unless all the wardens disagree. If a
majority think he should be released then restricted life.
Curfew Accommodation
1. If the inmate has a job they will be
allowed to carry on with the job with cooperation of the employer to be aware
of the rules placed on the inmate and report any breaches which they become
aware.
Their wages will be split 50/50 between their family or charity(decided
by the court) and the accommodation provider. If the inmate does not have a job
he will be required do suitable work, at a fair rate, for the local
council/local community under Municipal Supervision. i.e. Insulation of homes,
building work, street cleaning
2. The inmate will be allowed to visit
friends and family for a time (decided by the wardens) after work.
All inmates will not be allowed to indulge in drink or drugs.
The wardens will have the power, without reference to any other authority, to impose and lift rules and regulations on the individuals under their supervision. This will allow the wardens to get to know the inmates and apply the right level of freedom and allow them to integrate back into society.
The ultimate sanction available to the wardens
will be send the inmate back to prison
The rules and regulations will be drawn up by the local government
minimum/maximum standards set by central government.
There will always be a warden in the accommodation if there is an inmate there. Each home will have a minimum of three fulltime wardens to allow for this.
