Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.


Penal System

Will the former Home Secretary tell us precisely where the 20,000 additional places are that he claims have been built? Which prisons are they in? What new buildings are they in? Is it not true that the majority of those new places are simply the result of prisoners doubling up in single cells and trebling up in double cells?
