Since the beginning of the Second World War
Britain's prison population has grown dramatically from a steady 12,000 prisoners each year to a likely 44,000 in 1982. This prison explosion frequently means overcrowding - three prisoners to a cell designed for one - often in unsanitary 19th-century conditions.
Roy Jenkins , when Home Secretary, warned of ' crisis ' in the prisons if the numbers exceeded
42.000. Some observers predict a prison population of 50,000 by ,the end of the decade.
So are the prisons now In crisis? Do we want to pay for continued expansion to meet a public demand for sentencing? Can
Government ever control the numbers imprisoned? Someofthosewhocould Influence the future of our penal system discuss the options and alternatives under the chairmanship of Jonathan Dimbleby.
