Prime Minister’s Speech/Prisons/Criminal Justice System

Asked about Sky's recent reporting about 4000 extra prison places, the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) told journalists that there had been an increase in the number of prison places in the last few years. If people looked at what the Prime Minister had said in his speech, he had said that the number of prison places had expanded by 19,000 since 1997, and equally, we were adding a further 1000 in the next year. Therefore, the prison population was going up, and it was an issue that we had to look at, and keep looking at.
