UK govt wants to convert offices and laundry rooms into prison cells amid overcrowding

The number of available spaces across the male prison system in England and Wales fell to its lowest ever level this year, according to local media reports. To tackle overcrowding, the government now plans to convert unused office spaces, laundry rooms, and storage areas into new cells.

But former British MP Andrew Bridgen says it's not more cells that are needed, but a complete reform of the prison system.
