I am, what?

Prisons and housing isn't an 'either or' issue.

It will take years to plan and build new prisons. I don't think the current government can be blamed for that - it's down to the one run by the party that vowed to cut taxes as a bribe in the GE.

And any new prisons will need to be staffed. From what I've heard, the prison service is struggling to recruit and retain the staff it needs to run the existing estate.
