Britain is facing a prison capacity crisis due to recent rioting arrests. To address the overcrowding issue, suspects will be held in police station cells until space is available in prisons. The justice system crisis, exacerbated by the pandemic, has led to tough decisions by the government. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan includes releasing prisoners earlier to alleviate overcrowding. The measures aim to increase prison capacity, particularly in the north of England, following misinformation about a suspect in a high-profile case.
