PRISONS

So the media are making a big deal about the prison releases today, despite the fact that the police wrote to Sunak demanding that this take place BEFORE the election. Prison is a failed system – apart from stopping reoffending it does little to rehabilitate and the reoffending % is much too high. The reading age of prisoners is often below age 10 and mental problems are endemic. Prison officers are overstretched and often under trained! The system like many other public services is broke.
