The prison crisis:

More people are in prison on remand, before the trial: up from 10k in 2020 to 17k now;

Recalls (for breaking probation conditions) are up from 5k in 2014 to 12k now;

The proportion of prisoners in for by violent crime has risen (partly due to more witnesses willing to come forward).

But, if we just use prison to hold criminals we'll never change this... the lack of rehabilitation is the underlying problem (and with other issues, that needs money!)
