Indefinite jail terms for killers: Vic gov Repeat killers and serious sex offenders would be jailed indefinitely if the Victorian coalition is re-elected, the Premier says. The laws would mean anyone who has previously been jailed for murder, attempted murder, child murder, manslaughter or a serious sexual offence and goes on to commit another of these crimes will automatically receive an indefinite prison term. "This will guarantee dangerous criminals forfeit their right to walk among our community," Premier Denis Napthine told reporters. Offenders would be kept behind bars until a court is certain they pose no threat to the community. Attorney-General Robert Clark said repeat offenders would not be eligible for parole, and would not be released by the court until they had served a minimum sentence equal to the non-parole period they would have otherwise received. The new laws would also give the Director of Public Prosecutions greater power to appeal sentences they believe are inadequate. Mr Clark said the current structure meant it was harder for the DPP to appeal than offenders. "It also means that sentences can too easily trend lower over time, as tougher sentences get appealed against more often than weaker sentences," he said.
