"New prison projects show new building plans are far off the mark. The home secretary's plans to build more prisons have been condemned as "desperately short-sighted" after new figures show they will fall far short of the numbers needed.

But the latest projections from the Home Office suggest the prison population could stand at a maximum of 102,280 by that time – leaving 10,000 prisoners with nowhere to go."
