Motion text

That this House notes that on 31st January 2001, Lord Woolf, the Lord Chief Justice, will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the submission of his Report on the Strangeways Riot by delivering the Prison Reform Trust Annual Lecture; notes that the Report recommended the stabilising of the prison population, improving prison regimes and establishing community prisons; notes further that despite these recommendations, the prison population has increased by in excess of 15,000 in the last 10 years and that half of new prisons built in this period are already overcrowded, that prisoners receive just 10 minutes more purposeful activity a day than they did 10 years ago, and that 11,000 prisoners are still held over 100 miles from home - making rehabilitation much more difficult; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to act urgently to address these serious failings in the prison estate.
