Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Population.
Prison Population
The Minister mentioned this matter in his statement. The hon. Member for Sunderland, South (Mr. Mullin) said that one in seven prisoners were of foreign origin, and it is estimated that up to 25 per cent. of prisoners currently being held should not be there—low-level repeat offenders, people with medical problems, dysfunctional people and people who are not a danger to the community. Will the Minister’s Department undertake an urgent audit to see what kind of numbers can safely be released on to the street?
