The Court allowed the appeals and substituted three years' imprisonment for each appellant because the seriousness of causing death during an escape, the need to deter violence against prison officers and public servants, and to maintain public confidence required imprisonment despite the appellants' youth and prior detention; sentences to run from the date of judgment (26 November 1971).
