The point of principle in issue on this sentence application is whether a micro SD card smuggled into prison should be categorised as a class B or class C article when it meets the definition for both class B and class C. The difference between the two is of significance because for class B the maximum sentence is 24 months’ imprisonment, whereas for class C the maximum sentence is a fine of Level 3.
