Labour — Wolverhampton West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2024

Debate

Sentencing Review and Prison Capacity

Contribution

Keeping a prisoner in prison costs the taxpayer over £50,000 a year, whereas punishing the prisoner out of prison costs less than £5,000 a year. What is more, the prisoner is then far less likely to reoffend. Does the Secretary of State agree that taxpayers’ money would be better spent on having a much cheaper and better alternative to prison?
