"British prisons are, once again, bursting at the seams. While the Home Office is doing its best to accommodate "future bookings" (8,000 new places), humans rights activists and prison reformers have mounted a concerted media campaign over recent months aimed at convincing us that prison doesn't work. A close scrutiny of the available studies and statistics, however, reveals that not only does prison work but our consistent refusal to build new prisons will prove to be one of the costliest social mistakes."
