Daze is Gary Shields, a graffiti writer from Glasgow who in March was jailed for 28 months after pleading guilty to 8 offences. Now whatever your opinion on graffiti, almost two and a half years in prison for 8 counts can hardly be considered reasonable. This miscarriage of justice could well ruin his life, and for what? changing the colour of a surface... im not suggesting that he shouldn't be punished, but surely community service would have been sufficient for a young person who had a steady job and was no threat to anybody. This comes at a time when potentially violent criminals are recieving suspended sentences because of overcrowding in prisons! This affects everyone, if things like this go unquestioned then the authorities will think they can do as they please. What can you do? Join the Facebook group
