FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Prisons and Probation Ombudsman Nigel Newcomen said in his annual report that almost 230 people died in jails, probation facilities and immigration detention centers in Britain last year, representing a 15 percent increase in the previous year’s figures.
Newcomen described the rise in the numbers of deaths in custody in recent years as “particularly worrying”.
Furthermore, blaming the worrying situation on the country’s overcrowded prisons, Vicki Helyar-Cardwell, director of the Criminal Justice Alliance, called the new statistics “hugely saddening and troubling”.
Meanwhile, a Prison Officers Association spokesman urged the British government and the National Offender Management Service to reduce “the number of prisoners” rather than “closing prisons”.
Earlier in August, a research commissioned by the Prison Reform Trust found that prisons across the UK are overcrowded with nearly two-thirds of prisons in England and Wales housing almost twice more offenders than their initial capacity.
The survey found that the number of prisoners now serving their sentences is 7,294 more than the capacity of the country’s prison system.
