Am I being stupid or does this look a lot they’re giving up on punishing non-violent crimes with any serious deterrent?

“Labour: Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.”
Fucking LOL. This will be a real vote winner in Reform areas. Who is advising this Government?

Next you’ll be telling me you’ll overhaul the NHS by kicking the patients out early.

Jesus christ, backwards as fuck this country.
You ALREADY breached the terms of your release on licence? That’s fine, back out you go! Remember to make the life of the taxpayer harder and to further victimise hard working members of the public. Bonus points if you get into the paper for causing someone’s death.

Genuine question.. Do 3 new prisons even give an increase in net capacity by the point they’re built given the ageing estate and the chief inspector of prisons saying the other year 1/10 aka 14 should close soon?
It feels weird having a government that actually tries to fix problems. The Tories just kept canceling new prisons all while stuffing more people into them.

Is there a reason they expect the prison population to increase 8% between now and 2029?

And where are we going to house them? They will be back on the streets or in venerable situations and end up back in jail. Repeat.

Labour will not fix shit ! They refuse to borrow benefits completely made up “fiscal rules”.
The NHS, housing, cost of living, education. Nothing will actually be fixed because. Without borrowing there just rearrange deckchairs on the titanic.
And don’t talk about how reform will save the UK. It will not. Farage will sell us out to american private insurance companies. Sell all our state assets for next to fuck all and rent it back at massive cost to the tax payer.
And forget the tories there the reason we are In this mess in the first place.
Of the 3 Labour’s only virtue is there the least shit !

If they want to actually make a dent start overhauling the drug laws. They are so outdated and dumb and just waste taxpayers money and police time.
That will save the country money, ease the police workload and stop getting people who need help stuck in a cycle of prison visits.

Just deport any foreign criminals that’ll free up plenty of space

Didn’t they state the exact same 6 months ago?
I guess the lack of investment certainly is showing. Oh well, let’s go ahead with the triple lock.

Funny, France has just announced their plans too as the prisons are full. They are looking to rent free cells abroad. Imagine that – exporting prisoners. Amazing extra cost for the tax payers. Especially considering that at least 1/3rd of people in French prisons are foreigners…

What could possibly be causing our prisons to fill up so fast I wonder…

Plans are never laws set in stone. Or even money spent and policy’s changed. If we stop allowing prisons to be money making organisations for the companies that run them, who strip as much money as possible out of them and don’t spend it on services.
