The government is faced with a crisis which had been building under the noses of previous No 10 inmates.

1,700 prisoners were released in September , and more this week .

The ultimate target is to empty 5,500 prison spaces in total.

Eligible prisoners serving more than five years can now end up on the outside after only 40 per cent of their fixed-term sentence.

Labour is keen on letting prisoners out on the value’ grounds that prison is not an effective deterrent.

But it also wants to reassure us that it is building more prisons.

Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime was a durable Blair -era slogan.

Yet the question of which crimes and which causes remains as knotty as ever in Labour 's great prison paradox.
