This can't be correct

In this BBC story the claim is made that a 35 year old has been jailed 32 times. I find that absolutely unbelievable. He might have received 32 jail sentences with large numbers running concurrently but 32 separate terms of imprisonment would imply an average time served of 7 or 8 months for an habitual offender. Shurely shome mishtake.
