Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons and Probation.
Prisons and Probation
May I say to the Justice Secretary that he is quite right to jettison Titans? I noted in the statement that the new prisons are to be run privately. May I also say to him that it is very important that the contracts make express provision for proper and purposeful activity, particularly education and work, and that furthermore the Department must do its best to prevent people from being churned through those prisons? What is important is stability within the population, so that purposeful work can be delivered.
