...Jailing her would do no good at all...
Rightly or wrongly, anything other than prison is regarded by the public as a 'let-off'.
This case - and many others - sends the message that you can steal £20,000 from the public purse and you won't get much in the way of punishment.
Unsurprisingly, I regard that as the wrong message.
Others may disagree.
