Three strikes

There's a move to scrap weekend and mid-week jail sentences in NSW because people tend not to show up for this periodic detention. Some people are regular offenders in that they keep not showing up - and one in five offenders who have breached can't be found by authorities. This has led to a re-visit to the "three strikes and you're out" rule although it would seem more appropriate if it were "three strikes and you're IN".
