CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES

There are several kinds of punishment available {имеются в распоря­жении) to the courts. In civil cases, the most common punishment is a fine. For criminal offences fines are also often used when the offence is not a very serious one and when the offender has not been in trouble before. Another kind of punishment available in some countries is community service (об­щественно-полезный труд). This requires the offender to do a certain amount of unpaid work, usually for a social institution such as a hospital. For more serious crimes the usually punishment is imprisonment. Some prison sentences are suspended (отложить): the offender is not sent to prison if he keeps out of trouble for a fixed period of time, but if he does offend again both the suspended sentence and any new one will be imposed. The length of sentences varies from a few days to a lifetime. However, a life sentence may allow the prisoner to be released after a suitably long period if a review (parole) board agrees his detention no longer serves a purpose. In some countries, such as the Netherlands, living conditions in prison are fairly good because it is felt that deprivation of liberty is punishment in itself

and should not be so harsh (суровый) that it reduces the possibility of the criminal reeducating and reforming himself. In other countries, conditions ^re very bad.

DRIVER ON PHONE CAUSED DEATH

A woman was arranging a dinner date with her boy-friend on her mobile phone when her car crashed into another, killing its driver. Deborah Haynes, an employment agent, was holding the phone with one hand and steering with the other as she pulled out at 70 mph to overtake on a bend. In the seconds before the three-car crash her passenger, Susan Penny, a colleague, saw what about to happen and tried in vain to grab the wheel, said Maureen Baker, prosecuting.

Haynes wept at Lincoln Crown Court as she was jailed for 12 months and banned from driving for two and a half years after admitting causing death by dangerous driving.

The driver of the oncoming car, Arthur Smith, 79, of Sibsey, Lines, died at the scene of the accident.

Mrs Penny sustained multiple injures whish required treatment lasting five weeks at a specialist spinal unit.
