The new Justice minister Shabana Mahmood has argued that prisons face imminent collapse, claiming the total prison population could reach nearly 100,000 by next year.
"Today, I set out emergency measures that will grip the prisons crisis," she insisted. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Mahmoud laid out in a press release that "only hundreds of places" remain in adult male prisons and that U.K. prisons have operated at "over 99% capacity since the start of 2023," with space expected to be fully occupied within weeks.
