It seems to me that an Irish prisoner who served an entire sentence could still serve a shorter maximum time to someone who began a sentence in a foreign country. What if the person began that sentence in a country where the regime was very different from our own? There could be two categories of prisoner because one prisoner began a sentence elsewhere and had to serve a longer, more unjust sentence.
