“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”.
Labour needs to do "more" than letting prisoners leave without the right reform, says Former Victims' Commissioner Dame Vera Baird.

Far too many men are sent to prison. The new prisons' csar is right - at least 30% should not be there. men are given 1.6x the sentence as women for the same offence. Prison doesn't 'work' anyway (other than keeping dangerous people off the streets).
