Prison expansions to reduce overcrowding
The government plans to tackle prison overcrowding in England and Wales by converting unused spaces into additional cells, supported by a £110 million investment from existing budgets. The changes include adjustments to the early release scheme, excluding offenders convicted of serious crimes such as manslaughter and sex offenses, to allow more prisoners to remain in custody. These measures aim to free up space amid prisons operating at 97% capacity, while additional staff shortages and safety concerns remain unresolved.
