Which is fine if all you want from prison is temporary warehousing of people. Less so if you want to stop people reoffending.

Prisoners who have caused the gravest harm should be among the last to benefit from the overcrowding crisis. But carving out exceptions for individual prisoners in response to media campaigns is weak and unprincipled.11 Aug 2026 08:28 +0000at://did:plc:52eftagrytzdoofw6eqbruy4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mss72feaos27https://bsky.app/profile/barristersecret.bsky.social/post/3mslxc3mbms2cI am glad to report that the issue has been resolved. A public shaming over the importance of marriage vows appears to have done the trick. Thank you to you all for the helpful advice. Except those of you who suggested foxes. Barristers don’t have a fabulous record there.
