Britain’s prisons

Jail

JailFrom Polly Toynbee’s article from today’s Guardian:

How tragically revealing that half of all prisoners are completely illiterate and another 20% have a reading age under eight.


Plus prison numbers will hit record levels this week, and the UK has Europe’s longest sentences on average. Hell. And this is after 9 years of Labour government! 🙁
