  • “Whoever does the most horrendous crimes can't be dealt with because there's no place to put them, we need something better than that”.

      That’s the Tories for you,imprisoning people who break the law and therefore increasing the prison population.(nothing to do with drugs,of course). Perhaps labour should follow the example of prosecutors in Democrat run cities in America and simply refuse to imprison criminals,just keep giving them suspended sentences.

      Try listening to what has been said about the kind of people who will be released and how they will be governed after release.

    Those saying It was the Tories prison crisis seem to forget, Labour are the ones releasing the prisoners, not the Tories. When your house gets broken into or your car gets stolen, it's Labour who released the petty thieves, not the Tories.
