Following public outrage over violent home invasions, suppressed identities of young offenders, and the tragic death of Cairns resident Savannah Spencer Page, Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Mornings and criminologist Dr. Terry Goldsworthy evaluate Queensland's proposed "breach of bail to jail" expansion. 

They detail how mandatory jail terms threaten to implode an already overflowing $400-a-day prison system without addressing police burnout, rehabilitation bottlenecks, or the root issue of soft sentences for primary crimes like car theft.
