We believe more funding is needed for prisons, to better the conditions in there and for it to be more humane for prisoners. We believe current conditions contribute to high re-offending rates and poor health of prisoners and prison staff.
Found: Less re-offending rates would lead to the UK being a safer place overall, and would help make prisons
