💨 Abstract

Britain's prisons are overcrowded and deteriorating, with rising violence and attacks on staff. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood released 1,700 prisoners last September to temporarily alleviate the crisis, but now plans to limit jail time for recalled criminals to just one month to avoid total breakdown. This move is expected to increase burglaries, abuse, and drug crimes due to high reoffending rates.
