Research:
Below is the research I've collected for this Op-ed from The Independent, The BBC, and The Guardian.
70 per cent more inmates than they should, the number of free spaces in the prison estate falling from just 768 last week to 651 this week, over which period the male prison population has increased by 211 to 84,412.
the prison population has ballooned in recent decades as a result of tougher sentences and court backlogs. "The reason we are in this position," Ms Mahmood said, "is that the government has consistently broken its promises to deal with the rising prison population."
