Wild in the country

The inscription inside says: 'Children and the Law. Young people have always got into trouble with the law. What has changed over time is the way in which society deals with young offenders. Before Victorian times, children were treated in the same way as adults. There are records of children as young as 12 being hanged.'
Phew, thank goodness the Prime Minister said we will treat children as children. Whoops, I might have dreamt that bit...

I'm glad to say these cells were empty today, but that might only be because we haven't had any trouble in Bewdley, or no more than normal.
