A far-right protester who was involved in violent disorder near Downing Street, a Tube flasher and a group of people smugglers are among the east Londoners locked up last month.
Here are the names and faces of the men judges have put behind bars in August 2024.
David Notley
He pleaded guilty to violent disorder and a religiously aggravated public order offence after he was involved in the Enough is Enough demonstration near Downing Street on July 31.
Notley was seen striking fighting poses in front of police, surging back and forth towards officers, called them c***s and joining in anti-Muslim chants.
Judge Freya Newbery described Notley as a career thief and burglar.
In 2009 he was jailed for 20 years for his involvement in an attempt to smuggle nearly £400,000 worth of cocaine hidden in pot plants from Nicaragua to Waltham Abbey.
Judge Newbery commented that it was “somewhat ironic” that Notley seems to regard himself as an asset to society given his criminal record.

Dan Pirvu
At around 9pm on November 17 last year a member of the public told staff that a man was exposing his genitals to people on the District line platform.
When staff checked CCTV they could see the man – now known to be Pirvu – on the platform with his trousers around his knees exposing his bottom and genitals.
British Transport Police were called and Pirvu was arrested within minutes.
He was jailed for nine months after a jury found him guilty of exposure.
The judge also made a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning him from entering any London Tube station and using any above or below ground Tube service.
Pirvu will also have to sign the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

Waqas Ikram, Najib Khan and Jalal Tarakhail
They used GPS trackers to trace the vehicles that had hidden people inside as part of their operation.
Ikram was caught red-handed attempting to break into a vehicle to put four migrants inside at South Mimms services on March 30, 2021.
His phone was seized following his arrest and it had many conversations with the other two men outlining their involvement in a separate criminal networking – charging migrants up to £7,000 a head to bring them to the UK.
Evidence showed multiple successful and unsuccessful crossings through a lorry in 2019.
All three men were convicted of people smuggling offences.
Ikram, 41, from Dagenham, was sentenced to nine years, Khan, 39, from Ilford, was sentenced to nine years, and Tarakhail, 25, from Ilford, was sentenced to four years.

Kirtys MacKenzie and brothers Lewis, Andre and Pierre Jacobs
The victim, 35, was driving on his own in Clements Road, East Ham, on May 16, 2023, when Andre Jacobs approached in a silver BMW from the opposite direction.
After the victim crashed into a number of cars the four men leapt from their vehicles and pulled him out of his car.
They then punched and kicked him for around 20 seconds, leaving him motionless face down on the floor.
MacKenzie then came back a minute later and stamped on the victim’s head.
The group then stayed at the scene and called police, claiming they detained him after he threatened them with a knife.
However the victim was rushed to hospital and was medically induced in a coma due to his several bleeds to the brain.
He also suffered a collapsed lung, a fractured jawbone and rib, and a fracture to a part of his spine.

To this day he continues to recover and is gradually getting back to his day-to-day activities – but doctors say he will suffer long-term brain injury effects which will affect his cognitive functions.
MacKenzie was convicted of grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent to harm at a hearing at Inner London Crown Court on June 3.
Brothers Pierre, 20, Andre, 28, and Lewis Jacobs, 30, all from East Ham, were convicted of GBH without intent to cause harm.
MacKenzie, 30, of Beckton, was sentenced to four years and three months, while Andre and Lewis Jacobs were sentenced for two years and three months. Pierre Jacobs was sentenced to two years.
