Prison overcrowding: inmates in police cells costing millions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Prisons in England and Wales are so full that the government’s had to turn to police cells to house prisoners.

We can reveal the cost is running into the millions.
It’s called Operation Safeguard - an emergency scheme, allowing the Ministry of Justice to take over police cells and use them to lock up prisoners who should be in jail.

Over crowding in prisons lead to bad conditions for prisoners that usually end up with prison riots 🤔
Closing 600 out of 900 police stations - great plan.
🤣
another broken service.
It’s like everything in Britain is done🤷♂️The NHS, HMPS, Housing, Police, Army….that’s just off the top of my head
They have been holding prisoners in police stations due to over-crowding for years.
People sentenced had to wait till the next morning or until after the weekend for others to be released.
This sounds so suspicious in my opinion
Prisons should be for criminals that are dangerous to society. No violent drug offense prisoners for example, should be diverted to restorative justice to repay their debt to society.

Welcome to the fulcrum of a Conservative government… people voted for this, still vote Conservative and here we are… in the belly of this shambles
Yep I agree, standard Tory policy is the invade all public services, slash budgets to “save costs” and pander to rich donors whilst they get rich and the rest of us suffer
Main stream parties won't fix this. They are all too soft for this modern era. Making sure you are PC cannot be your priority. Right now we need a tough government and that isn't labour or conservatives
Money printer goes brrrrrr.
This is what 13 years of Conservative government has given us
🙄
facts
When the government spends more on one prisoner than it does on a junior doctor.
£46,696 is more than many junior doctors annual salaries
How sad is this
meantime the avg salary is £33k. half of the population is not goignt to even touch £46k in their lifetime.
When cutting costs for front line services makes u pay much more in the long term .
We are doomed.
Here in Denmark, we send detainees who have been sentenced to deportation after serving time, to a Balkan country and prison (can't remember which).
Good or bad, I don't know.
P.S. If they are sentenced to deportation, then it is typical, very serious violence or worse.
Send them to Rwanda
Yes at the tax po Ayers expense more migrants occupy
Sorry, what?
You will have put these prisoners in 5 star hotels until there is enough prison space.
Rise in crime not helping, UK, does it?
Even the prisons have a waiting list !! When the Tories run a country into the ground they make a damn good job of it.
Just bring back the death penalty for crimes like murder, rape, terrorism and so on, but, when found guilty dont keep them in a cell for 20 years before the sentence is carried out. Give them 12 months to find new evidence and if they cant then put them down.
This should allow there to be plenty of space in prisons and it should also cut down on the cost to taxpayers.
There shouldnt be any day release for prisoners and no early release either. The likes of tv, internet access, and other comforts should also be taken away.
A prisoner should be made to feel like a prisoner, not someone that is on vacation.
Even if this happened we would still need to deal with the corrupt police though.
Very recently, a man had been proven not guilty after 17 years in prison.
A shame to be sure, but, many criminals still walk our streets as free men/women because the laws are inadequate. The arrest of that man happened many years ago and even though there was evidence, it was basically brushed aside by those i mentioned in the last sentence of my statement. Its not like is is a common occurrence.@@gabrielc1989w
@@CrazyWabbitBut it is a common occurrence🤦♂️
What like the guy who was recently cleared after 17 years for rape. Woops ! Sorry mate we can't release you as some fuckwit wanted to hang people.
Just send them to Botany Bay just like Britain did 200 years ago. Australia is a large empty country with close ties to the UK, I'm sure they won't mind building a prison for their former colonial overlords.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would contend that the contributory problem of re-offending could be addressed by ending prison records for those having served their time (with the obvious exception of those who've commited very serious offences). Prison records are an obstacle for those wanting a fresh future and offer no incentive for them to stay on the straight and narrow. This single action could make a radical difference.
£46,696 WTF! Where are they living? The Hilton!?!
This is an average figure, some are more some less but still pretty staggering
Why can’t they be sent to Rwanda instead.
Did you vote Tory for a "Better Britain"
Did you vote leave for a "Better Britain"
It hasn't worked....
Soon they start releasing them out.
Well..at least there is no moulds in prison and no leaky roofs. That might be better than being homeless with no support from the council.
start by relaxing laws related to drugs and sxx then...
the uk is a joke smh
Ma friend gets put behind bars for shoplifting caught 6 packs of butter justice systems a joke imo I am not justifying wht ma friend did he knows he did wrong should be punished for it Told me one day we both got the nick Canae dae the time Dnt dae the crime simple it is init wht angers me them ppl who rape commit such horrible crimes r given bail yet ma friend gets banged up for such a petty crime. I dnt c why the judge could have given other punishments like CPO or exclusion zone ma friends never had before but naw judge convicts ma friend yet beasts r allowed to walk free prisons can't b tht bad then
Nobody gets arrested, we need a new police force that dos its job. Criminals can do what they want. The police drink coffee in there office. Dreadful.
What police? They’ve all been made redundant due to conservative cuts
Apparently we also need to improve education.
Feel like that (education) should be trickle down, rather than our economics
dont like it? dont come to jail
Whats i find so funny is that you go to prison then after doing a long sentence you get giveing money just before get let out of prison then too do it all over again i don't blame them if you getting free cash just for be rleased its all good in the hood get a couple of ciders and cigarettes
Do not comply. No to vaccine passports, no to mandatory vaccines. No to masks, no to tests, a total disgrace
wrong video....wrong year!!
Can someone please pull the plug on this one.
People keep going back too prison because how easy it is you get tv in your cell all your favourite tv shows you get giveing vape pens 3 hot meals a day you can play table tennis on the wing that you and you get you mediation its like a honlday camp 😀

Here is a idea, don’t arrest people and imprison them for silly offences. Like mean comments on social media and for hurting people’s fee fee’s. 😂
Make them walk the plank
My policy 🙂
