New concerns over prison overcrowding


A right wing think-tank has criticised the government for allowing prisons to become disastrously overcrowded. "Prisons should be reserved for real criminals, not the petty liars, con men and perjurers who are just clogging up the system," said a spokesman for the Centre for Social Justice. "Many of these prisoners could be out doing useful work for the Conservative Party," he added.
