Prison Capacity

Proceeding contribution from Paula Barker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 July 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Capacity.

I welcome the Lord Chancellor to her place. She has certainly hit the ground running in a very difficult backdrop from the previous Government. We know only too well that, often, prisoners are released on Friday afternoon, with little or no access to statutory services, and they become homeless. What assurances can she give the House that this has been thought through, and the unintended consequence of this decision will not be extending the homelessness crisis?
