Labour inherited the problem of prison overcrowding from the Tories who had themselves been forced to release 10,000 prisoners early in 2023. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/lord-chancellor-sets-out-immediate-action-to-defuse-ticking-prison-time-bomb#:~:text=Originally%20launched%20in%20October%202023,over%2010%2C000%20offenders%20were%20released. Sunak was warned he would be breaking the law if he didn’t release prisoners early. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/07/17/sunak-warned-legal-breach-prisoners-early-release/
