UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Wants To Create 10,000 New Prisons and Extend Stop And Search

[CASHAPP]

Reminds me of Bill Clinton in the 90s. So to recap so far he is pushing for 20,000 cops, 10,000 new prisons, expanded Stop and search which mainly goes after Black people.

An extra 10,000 new prison places will be created and stop-and-search powers expanded, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised.

The first new prison in the £2.5bn programme will be at HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire, where expansion plans have previously been announced.

The government said the plans showed it was "serious about fighting crime".

But Labour's shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, said "random" stop-and-search was a "recipe for unrest".

The government's focus on law and order will add to speculation that No 10 is preparing for an autumn general election, said BBC political correspondent Jonathan Blake.



The prison and policing plans for England and Wales follow other recent initiatives from Downing Street about the NHS and immigration.

Last month, the government also pledged to recruit 20,000 extra police officers, nearly replacing the number of officers lost since the Conservatives returned to power.

What are the plans for prisons?
The 10,000 new prison places are expected to be created by building new jails and expanding existing ones, at a cost of up to £2.5bn.

The first new prison will be built alongside the maximum security jail at HMP Full Sutton, the Ministry of Justice said. But plans already announced there have drawn objections from police, who said it would increase violent crime in the jail.

Previously decommissioned prison venues will also be refurbished and brought back into use, the government said.

Mr Johnson wrote in the Mail on Sunday that the investment was "long overdue".

He also argued that too many serious violent or sexual offenders are coming out of prison long before they should, and tougher sentences were needed.

"We need to come down hard on crime," he wrote. "That means coming down hard on criminals. We need to reverse the balance of fear.

"I want the criminals to be afraid - not the public."

Is the money for prison places new funding?
In 2016, former justice secretary Liz Truss unveiled a white paper promising a £1.3bn investment in prisons, adding an extra 10,000 places by 2020 - later pushed back to 2022.

The Ministry of Justice said it was on course to create 3,360 places at two new prisons by 2023.

Government sources said the £2.5bn funding would allow it to deliver 10,000 places on top of that, including projects already at a planning stage such as HMP Full Sutton.

But a spokesman for the Prison Reform Trust said the suggestion that all 10,000 places were new was "misleading" given earlier announcements.

The trust said prisons needed 12,000 more places just to eliminate overcrowding and accommodate new prisoners who have already been sentenced.

"We know the aggressive rhetoric of 'prison works' invariably drives up the use of imprisonment long before the capacity to deal with that has been created," said Peter Dawson, the trust's director.

"Tough rhetoric is no substitute for understanding the evidence."

How is stop-and-search changing?
A pilot scheme making it easier for police to search people without reasonable suspicion, in places where serious violence may occur, is being extended to all 43 forces across England and Wales.

In March, when he was home secretary, Sajid Javid first introduced the scheme in seven police force areas: London, the West Midlands, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Wales and Greater Manchester.

The latest move will see restrictions over using section 60 stop-and-search lifted more widely, giving officers across England and Wales a limited time period to search anyone in a designated area in order to prevent violent crime.

Inspectors will now be able to use section 60 without seeking the authorisation of a senior officer and there will be a lower threshold for its use, with police only needing to reasonably believe that violence "may" occur, not that it will.

• Police given more stop and search powers
• The key facts about rising knife crime

The Home Office and Number 10 said their decision to extend stop-and-search was based on "initial feedback" from the three-month trial in seven areas.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said: "Stop-and-search works. We hear again and again from police that [they] need to be empowered."

She said powers needed to be used in the "right, legal and professional way" but their use was supported by families of victims of knife crime, from "communities that have suffered so much trauma and pain".

The announcement comes days after a police officer was stabbed in the head with a machete in east London.

Why are some people concerned about stop-and-search?
Stop-and-search powers have been controversial for many years, with evidence that they are sometimes misused and that they disproportionately target black people.

In 2017-18, black people were 9.5 times more likely to be searched than white people, a gap which has grown in recent years.

Jonathan Hinds, who campaigns against its misuse, told BBC Radio 5 Live he had been stopped three times within a mile by three different police officers.

He warned black people faced being "targeted by these draconian powers".

Brexit brehs must be applauding this.

 

[Umoja]

How about trying to diminish crime by investing in social programs.

 

[EA]

They have 2.5bn spare to create more prison space but have continually reduced social services and the NHS due to ‘lack of funding’

fukk this Conservative Government

[Mowgli]

Is crime really that bad in that tiny ass country.

There are 40 million people in California and 33 prisons

I don't think these are just going to be used for criminals big fella

 

[get these nets]

Wait, there aren't even 10,000 TOTAL jails and prisons in the USA. How is there ever going to be room for that many jails in the UK? Is Boris just talking "tough on crime" bullshyt with that number?

He's probably getting his Nazi camps ready.

Or that countries law enforcement system is seriously inefficient

 

[Green negs and spam]

Stop and search is necessary in the UK. These kids are fukking idiots, you'd be shocked by the amount that are carrying knives and by their willingness to use them.

 

[A187]

Boris means new prisons to hold 10,000 inmates
not 10,000 actual new prisons, that would be insane
