Inside out: How to fix the UK’s prison system + Labour embraces unpopularity

But then if you look at England, I think we have the highest like re-offending rates. We have the highest like

lifers and stuff like that in this country like we love to lock people up and if you look at like America they love to do it as well and they're such a bigger country and they give big sentences out like more than your lifetime they'll give out them sentences but that hasn't stopped the offending or the re-offending but then if you look at countries where it's working I feel like we should follow those countries rather than following America or do you know what I mean or like the old way of doing things I think that that's

I didn't stop doing what I was doing because I would get a slap kind of thing. I just tried to be smart.
