British prison I'd agree, but US prisons seem way harsher environments.

Depends on the US prison. They get a weight room, cable tv, game tables, unlimited supply of books to read, and other luxuries the normal person has to pay a membership for.

Exactley.
The law adds up to 65 years. Thats the law, and its convicteds choice to break it.
The issue is the 'plea bargain', which should be banned - globally - as it makes a mockery of the 'tariff' for the crime, and with it the concept of public justice.
Cricitism should be directed at the 25 year 'plea bargain' pitch, not the relative severity of the 'by the book' sentence.
