The Chief Inspector of Prisons, Anne Owers, and Eddie Bloomfield, Chief Inspector of Courts Administration, have compiled a Report into the crisis of overcrowded prisons and have concluded that Operation Safeguard, the emergency measure to use police and court cells is in adequate.
I don't think we needed a Report to tell us what we already know. What is the point of compiling Reports when it is doubtful that they are read by Ministers, and more than likely lay ignored on some bookshelf?
What is really needed is for the crisis to be tackled once and for all.
