Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

As the hon. Gentleman will remember, shortly before then many of us criticised the former Administration for reaching the milestone of 50,000 prisoners. It is interesting to reflect on that today. That is what we used to criticise the former Conservative Government for. The fact is that the depth of the problem with this Bill lies in the fact that it is based on the foundation belief that building more prisons and more prison places is a proper system in a modern society.
