British crime lords rule £40 billion underworld

British crime lords rule £40 billion underworld

A £40 billion underworld economy is dominated by homegrown criminals, with at least 27 “Mr Bigs” running their empires from inside British jails, The Times has learnt.

"The Acpo team is concerned at the ease with which inmates can obtain mobile phones. “Significant criminal activity is being driven from within prisons,” said Mr Murphy".

I have a suspicion that this news is to herald a crackdown in prisons. I cannot help wondering if this crime business is actually good for the economy?
