London: The number of criminals in the United Kingdom has increased. Due to the increase in the number of prisoners in the United Kingdom, the capacity in the prisons is almost exhausted. Only a hundred more prisoners can be kept. However, the government has also found a solution for this.
Given the current situation, the British government has issued special orders under which the prisoners are being kept in the lock-ups of the police stations until they get a place in the jail.
British prisons have never been overcrowded.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said in a speech at the Prime Minister’s House that the government has to look at the situation in prisons every day to ensure that we can make more arrests.
He said that this is a very shameful situation and no Prime Minister should have to deal with such a situation.
Justice Minister Shabana Mehmood announced a special plan to increase capacity in British prisons.
According to the government plan, the government has decided to release 40% of the prisoners serving their sentences to make room in British prisons.
The release of prisoners will start in September and initially, about 5,500 prisoners will be released, prisoners convicted of serious and sexual crimes will not be able to benefit from this discount.
