Just watching BBC breakfast, the presenters keep asking if the prison system has the capacity to cope with the aftermath of the riots, the answer seems to be yes each time.

Does this not suggest reports it can't cope is based on either mis information or people simply not understanding something as to how the prison system works ( I am not an expert )

Labour want to release people early, I get the impression these people who they want to release are in due to less serious offenses, and could be deemed safe to release. This is different to some reports of people guilty of serious offenses (sexual offenses, assault etc)

The system does seem at breaking point, the Labour party are going to have to sanction recruitmet campaigns not just for sectors such as teaching and medicine but also mental health (as they want to put mental health professionals in all schools) but we also need probation services and support for prisoners post release.

There is litte point in releasing people from incarceration without providing the support for them to readjust

We need more people to build / renovate homes to help solve the housing crisis, they want GB energy that is going to require engineers to build and install infrastructure.

As for the issue of drugs and addiction, this is another issue we need MORE trained professionals to help solve.
