UK Prisons Might Run Out Of Space Despite Expansion Plans
Prisons in the UK could soon be full, and new ones can't be built quick enough to keep up with demand.
That's the warning from the UK government, as the country faces overcrowding in its jails.
The government has pledged to create 14,000 more prison places by 2031, and has already overseen the early release of almost 3 thousand inmates.
The previous Conservative government has been blamed for allowing the problem to reach a critical level, and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says more prison places won't solve the issue of overcrowding on its own:
