Description

The prison population in England and Wales is projected to hit one hundred thousand by March 2030, a year later than anticipated, due to increased police charges, court cases, and recall of offenders. However, recent policy changes, such as early release programs and the Sentencing Bill, aim to manage overcrowding and address the long-term prison capacity crisis.
