REHABILITATION IS KEY TO SOLVING THE PRISONS CRISIS

27.10.05

Commenting on the report National Offender Management Service: Dealing with increased numbers in custody which calls for the improvement of contingency arrangements in case the prison population continues to rise, Lynne Featherstone MP, Liberal Democrat Prisons Spokesperson, said:

"Unsuitable, overcrowded and endlessly expanding jails won't solve Britain's prison crisis.

"Instead of presiding over an ever growing prison population Labour should ensure that the appalling 60% re-offending rate is reduced by providing rehabilitation and education.

"Our aim is to ensure that prisoners leave crime behind and become responsible citizens."
