‘Britain facing worst prison crisis since 2008’

Britain is facing the worst crisis in capacity of its prisons since 2008 with detention centers having only one percent free space to accommodate criminals.

According to Press TV, prison experts said on Saturday that out of more than 85,000 prison capacity across England and Wales only 265 are free. The figure is the highest since the coalition government took office four years ago.

Experts warned that the current conditions in crowded prisons could lead to riots and hinder rehabilitation in the detention centers.

They also accused UK justice authorities, particularly Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, of paying 14 privately-run prisons to cram more inmates into cells.
