There is a logic behind people actually serving the sentence they were given. However, given the capacity issues, it's unclear how this can be implemented.

Not at all, it's just a pet peeve of mine! And I think the media reporting of this stuff doesn't help. I'd love to see sentences reframed in legislation & courts as '2 years' imprisonment followed by 2 years' community supervision' or something like that - would be so much clearer!

As long as they're not dangerous, I'd rather they served the rest in the community doing community service or whatnot.
To be honest, if they're not actually a threat to anyone, I'd have the whole sentence spent doing community service.
