    Not so sure the gangs have no control....we have a revolving door policy rather then building more spaces & locking up repeat offenders for longer.

    220 more spaces seems an excessively low target.

    20220 would make more sense.

    We're not America for one & personally I'd like to see repeat offenders locked up for longer & not able to have the freedom to walk the streets to reoffend. (Particularly criminals that freely assault people multiple times giving a full 2 f**k to those of us that are law abiding)

    It should not be a choice between the US ‘3 strikes and you are out’ and our ‘100 strikes and a suspended or concurrent sentence’ approach.
