Call to halve prison population to 45,000 in England and Wales

Image copyright PA The prison population of England and Wales should be cut to 45,000, a former deputy prime minister and two former home secretaries have urged.
In a letter to the Times, Nick Clegg, Ken Clarke and Jacqui Smith said jails had become unacceptably dangerous.
They said inmate numbers had risen to more than 85,000 since Michael Howard declared in 1993 that “prison works”.
The cross-party trio pointed out that almost half of inmates are re-convicted within a year of being released.
Former Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg, Conservative Mr Clarke and Labour"s Mrs Smith said the recent violent unrest at Birmingham Prison was a “wake-up call for this country”.
Riot teams restored order to all four wings of HMP Birmingham last week after more than 12 hours of rioting described as the worst since events at Strangeways 26 years ago.

"Record number" of prison suicides in England and Wales

Image copyright PA A record number of inmates have taken their own lives in prisons in England and Wales so far this year, a prison reform charity has said.
The Howard League for Penal Reform said it knew of 102 suicides, the highest since its records began in 1978.
The charity said cuts to staffing and budgets had “created a toxic mix of violence, death and human misery”.
The government has pledged 2,500 extra officers and special measures for vulnerable or mentally ill inmates.
The previous highest toll recorded by the charity was 94 suicides in 2004.
However, the overall prison population has increased by about 10% since then, meaning the suicide rate was actually slightly higher in 2004.
Then, there was approximately one suicide for every 830 prisoners. So far in 2016, there has been one death for roughly every 840 prisoners.
"So desperate"The Howard League released the figures as it published a joint report alongside Centre for Mental Health, another charity.
The r..
