We inherited a broken prison system. The country was days away from running out of places, which would mean the collapse of law and order across the country. We are building - 14,000 new prison places, the largest programme since the Victorian era. There will be more criminals behind bars than ever before by the end of the Parliament. But without further sentencing changes, we’d still end up facing the same crisis again next year. We will never do that to the British people. Ministry of Justice
