The last Government left our prisons in crisis, whereby we were within 100 days of not having any cells left. This Government is committed to fixing the broken prison system. We have already committed £2.3bn to prison expansion, and since taking office, we have delivered 2,400 new places. We’ve also announced increased funding to build three new prisons to tackle the issue head-on.
You can hear more about this in my chat with Iain Dale on LBC.
