A life sentence doesn't mean life, scumbags are getting a slap on the wrist instead of 10 years and still walking the streets after a list of offences as long as your arm, all supposedly because of over crowding.
We can't build new prisons because nobody wants a prison next door.
At the same time ship yards are closing down.

Get the men back to work building prison ships.
No frills or little luxuries.
Then anchor it 5 miles off the coast in the North sea.
I don't think their would be many repeat offenders going back there.
