You would think that with the over-crowding of prisons/remand centres and the cost to the State, that quickly determining if an alleged perpertrator is guilty would be of the utmost importance. And if the alleged perpertrator is found innocent, then how about charging the instigator of the alleged crime?

The whole point of the law is to make business for itself. That's why you never hear lawyers arguing about the wickedness of these laws or their unconstitutionality. They're too much of a revenue provider. As for the jails, there are thousands employed in them and they and the prisoner transport industry dependent on a steady supply of ""clients"" for their livelihoods. I wouldn't be surprised if the transport and associated companies have been promised a certain quota of heads per year by government.
