It occurs to me that I have never heard an word from Harris (since his conviction) expressing any sorrow, regret, compassion or anything of the sort. I grant that I may have missed it and grant also that if it did occur (in the sentencing process for example) the media may not have picked it up. And my memory may also be shot to hell. But the bottom line as far as I am able to judge, he is entirely unrepentant.
That ought to disqualify him from any leniency in sentence or treatment. I understand that in the parole system, such things are a necessary precondition to consideration for parole.
So all in all, I can't see any factor except age that would mitigate against severe punishment and treatment. Let him break a few rocks instead or hearts and minds.

From what I hear he is being moved to a low security prison with no fences where they run a market garden and sell veges to local shops. I think the only rocks he'll be breaking are little ones getting in the way of the fresh carrots

I looked at the case against Rolf and for the most part it didn't seem to add up to much. The legal case seems to a modern manifestation of the Witch Hunt. Superstition is alive and well!

You would not want to be inocent, government funded legal aid would be no match for the unlimited resources of the government funded procecution.

The last two comments are the most sensible in this thread.

Yeah, that's a bit of a let down. Maybe they should freeze his asset and compensate the victims. That would hurt more. The wallet.

Take it all.
Drug lords lose it
Precedent available law runs on precedent
Family would be hurt but that is the price ..you have lost your rights to inpass wealth

I don't get this compensation bit, so if the victims get x amount of dollars dose that fix it, and "they all feel better now".

Not fix it but being abused vs. being abused + richer. Yeah I'd take it still. Let the ba$tard pay for it litterally.

Drug dealers lose only what can be shown (or inferred) to be the proceeds of their crimes. But in less 'enlightened' times, people convicted of capital offences lost everything inluding even the right to vote. They became non-persons. I've forgotten what this was called.

But now we're trendy liberals and such barbarities belong to history. Right?

Peter I an reasonably confident your ideas are more or less correct.
The wonderful thing about the law is that it was originally given to us by God ..unfortunately man has no kept the spirit of the law the way God did becoming less includes to smite those who did not obey the law.
In my view we need more smiting for the law breakers. God would leave them less than homeless without status..he would leave them smited and that is a status as low as you can get.
Even though I do not believe God exists I think his administration of law superior of that of man.
Smite Rolf Harris and we don't have to speak of him again.
Sadly a nonresident God has it right in my view.
And you could make a list of mungrels who deserve a good smiting
