This policy swaps one crisis for another, freeing up space for new arrests while potentially releasing dangerous individuals back into communities.
💡 Why it matters
Without adequate prison capacity, the government risks either releasing dangerous offenders early or failing to arrest new criminals, destabilizing the justice system.
Cells for arrested offenders may run out without early prison release, says Labour.
