"What are the underlying causes of the prison capacity shortfall, and how does Labour's approach differ from its predecessor's?"

"The shortfall stems from insufficient prison capacity planning by the previous Conservative government, which resulted in significant budget overruns and delays. Labour's approach prioritizes community-based alternatives to incarceration, aiming for a more cost-effective and efficient solution. This approach reflects a broader shift towards restorative justice and evidence-based sentencing practices.",

What factors contributed to the cost overruns and delays in the prison construction project?

The delay in the prison-building program is attributed to unrealistic planning by the HM Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) and a lack of government prioritization. Cost overruns are significant, with rapid deployment cells exceeding budget by 259 percent and four new prisons potentially exceeding budget by 60 percent. This has led to the current prison capacity crisis forcing the government to explore options for rapid capacity expansion.

What methods of torture were used in Syrian prisons under the Assad regime?

The liberation of prisoners exposes the Assad regime's systematic use of terror to maintain power. Over 157,634 Syrians were arrested between 2011 and 2024, including children and women, with thousands more abducted earlier. The scale and brutality of the prison system—including Tadmor and Sednaya prisons—show the regime's disregard for human rights.
