Episode The Prisons Crisis Strikes Back
Prisons nearly bursting. Court cases backlogged. Prisoners released early. It couldn’t happen again, could it? Former BBC journalist and Labour adviser Danny Shaw joins the podcast team to discuss a brand new IfG report into the state of the criminal justice system.
In another difficult week for the government, the inquiry into grooming gangs has run into problems after at least four members of the victims and survivors panel quit in protest at how the government has handled the process so far. Can Louise Casey fix it?
Plus: Prince Andrew, the Royal family, and the government. What happens next?
Catherine Haddon presents.
With Alex Thomas and Cassia Rowland.
Produced by Milo Hynes.
