Jail service 'should be split up'


Jail service 'should be split up'

A former jail governor has called for the prison service to be split up, with local councils taking responsibility for inmates serving short sentences.

This idea of going back in time prior to 1877 when there was two penal systems, one being managed by the state and one being managed by local authorities is hardly forward planning.
