£Half a million for 20 months, great hourly rate?

Pathetic sentence for a repeat offender.

£500,000 that they know about, and a likely 10 months in prison gives an hourly rate far beyond minimum wages! Assume an 18 hour "prison work day" and he'll be awake for about 5000 hours over ten months. So that's ~£100 an hour...

Crime clearly pays.
