Prisons and austerity

It is quite another thing in the present prison system, where 69 of the 124 prisons in England and Wales are overcrowded, and where around a quarter of all prisoners are held in overcrowded conditions.

description It is quite another thing in the present prison system, where 69 of the 124 prisons in England and Wales are overcrowded, and where around a quarter of all prisoners are held in overcrowded conditions. Those conditions may mean sharing a cell with another prisoner and a toilet. Loss of privacy and the opportunity for humiliation and even physical violence are therefore added to the well-known pains of imprisonment. Moreover, these conditions impinge especially on unconvicted remand prisoners, who are mostly held in local prisons. The possibility of improving these conditions is hardly enhanced by the current austerity measures. According to National Offender Management Service Business (NOMS) Plan 2013-14, NOMS is required to deliver Savings of almost a quarter by 2014-2015, and indeed that may not be the end of the austerity measures. Here, Ashworth discusses the English prison system, prison overcrowding and austerity measures.
