Under the Tories overcrowding and understaffing have created a prison crisis – Burgon

Richard Burgon MP, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, responding to
forecasts that the prison population is set to rise to 88,000 by 2022, said:

“Under the Tories, overcrowding and understaffing have brought the
prison system to a crisis.

“These figures demonstrate that this Conservative Government has
no real plan to fix the mess they’ve made and that overcrowding is only
set to get worse over the coming years.”
