Government Has Spectacularly Mismanaged the Prison Service

Commenting on today’s Ministry of Justice figures showing that a record number of prisoners were released early last month under the scheme to ease prison overcrowding, Liberal Democrat Shadow Justice Secretary, David Howarth said: “Today’s record releases are the direct result of this Government’s spectacular mismanagement of the prison system.”

“If our jails weren’t chock-full of the wrong kind of people, dangerous criminals would not have to be released early.

“The overcrowding crisis is not going to just go away. Ministers must tackle reoffending and move drug addicts and the mentally ill into more appropriate secure accommodation.”
