Although one s.3 offence (accepting a loan from a serving prisoner) was serious because it compromised the appellant's authority, the appellant satisfied all Brown factors (first offender, stable background, employment prospects, remorse, low reoffending risk) and a CSO of 160 hours was appropriate; therefore the six‑month immediate custodial sentence was excessive and was set aside and replaced by a CSO.
