prisons

I would agree, but it's not relevant to a political discussion about prison over crowding and how it was allowed to happen.

Last I checked the Home Secretary was a politician.

Fair comment.

Privatise prisons and allow Judges and coppers to buy shares in them.
That would create a building boom in new prisons, all this caper of being soft on shop lifters will be a thing of the past, the police would actually have an incentive to arrest people and judges to send them to jail.

Privatise prisons

Catch up chap
Privatisation to address overcrowding results in poor standards. In the 1990s, the UK privatised prisons with the aim of tackling the prison overcrowding crisis. There are currently 14 privately owned prisons in the UK, holding roughly 15% of the prison population. -10 May 2024

the prison system in America is privatised, it makes billions out of misery

America has one the largest prison populations in the world

yeah shop lifting and other such crime is a result of 14 years of Tories transferring all the wealth from ordinary people to the wealthy

Thats because they're privatised, judges can't bang em up fast enough.
If they run short of prison spaces, they just build more jails.
In California years ago they had the 3 strikes and you are out policy.
This Black bloke was just out of jail, he was walking along a beach when he saw a kid with a hamburger, he grabbed the hamburger out of the kids hand and ate it.
A copper saw him and he was arrested, because it was his 3rd offence he was sent to prison for life.
These kids were getting 12 months inside for dropping litter Lol.

Pennsylvania rocked by 'jailing kids for cash' scandal - CNN.com

At a friend's sleepover more than a year ago, 14-year-old Phillip Swartley pocketed change from unlocked vehicles in the neighborhood to buy chips and soft drinks. The cops caught him.

it’s also related to: poverty, inequality, lack of social mobility.

That's a left-wing lie.

Fact is the £20b NI cut could have paid for a number of prisons

or last years overseas aid payments.

If they're releasing lots of serious criminals from prison, there will be a serious lack of diversity in prison. Especially if they're now filling them with right wing protesters.

Our 'leaders' haven't thought this through.

If they're releasing lots of serious criminals from prison,

Are they?
