Jack Straw and Prisons


He has just announced two new large prisons and a large U-Turn.

No Titan (2,500) prisons to be built anymore. I think principally because no one could find anyway for them to be built. 50 Acre sites are not easy to come by. I think the idea of the Titan prisons was pretty bad anyway. Much easier for things to get out of control on that sort of scale.

However two large prisons are to be built in Chelmsford and South East London. A 1,500 space prison will change Chelmsofrd a lot. New jobs yep but a lot of bother with it too.
