It's because human beings CHOOSE to break the law. Burglary is deliberate not an accident. Shoplifting is deliberate not an accident. Carrying a knife is deliberate not an accident. Lifestyle choice.
Well seeing as the UK population has increased since 1992 it stands to reason the prison population should increase. In fact some believe the reported 66m population is untrue and the real figure is much much higher. 80m+ see PJW latest video
Just give us the simple facts! How big is the increase in proportion to the increase in population? How many foreigners?And why can’t some of them be sent home? Are certain crimes increasing or decreasing? Without information,how is the public supposed to come to a view? It’s hardly surprising that people are making their own facts up and coming with extreme views
Not really.. People go in for minor offences and get turned into hardened criminals. It’s a disaster. Look how low reoffending rates are in Nordic countries 👍
Prison over crowded because they are like a holiday to some people, they have all the home comforts free of charge, its better than being on the streets, make it so people don't want to go back
So Starmer has appointed Timpson, who is a civilian, placed him in the House of Lords. so that Parliament do not have direct scrutiny, and Timpson sits there and says we need to be more lenient on criminals. What an effing joke.
That’s why it’s took 17 months of rescheduling my crown court sentencing date !!!! 17 months I’ve waited to be dealt with for dangerous driving in sep 2022 !!!!

Over 40,000 criminal new comers each year. As of March this year there were 1408 spaces the highest spaces (in last 2 years) was April 2022 with 2597 spaces. Seems pretty simple to me
Answer: laws. Seriously though, prison aren't either the deterrent they once were or a means of changing behaviours and come at a great cost to the public.

Prople commit crimes that require a prison sentence to deter others from copying them and to protect the law abiding public from further criminal activities.
Should we also check demographics in parallel to these facts/statistics and plan to solve the actual problems?
Because prisons aren't working on rehabilitation, so it's easier for them to reoffend and return to the 'safety' of prison.
What percent of the prison population are not UK nationals?
Might have something to do with the prisons being like holiday camps. Look at the 40,000 capacity prison in el Salvador that would sort our issues
