Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

Independent Sentencing Review

Contribution

My hon. Friend is absolutely right to remind the House that 80% of offenders in our country are reoffenders, which tells us that our system is broken. It tells us that our prisons are creating better criminals, not better citizens, and this is something we absolutely have to turn around if we are to protect victims and cut crime.
