Becca Wilks was saying on a recent Trash Future about how both the Tories and Labour seem committed to imprisoning heaps of people on short sentences just to fill their prisons.

Which is wild because British prisons are already so full they're having to put prisoners up in temporary huts and there's a proposal to send them to do their time in Estonia

Yeah they talked about that. Apparently Labour's plan to fix Prison Overcrowding is to build more prisons. Finally some big infrastructure spending...for prisons.
