Prison overcrowding and lack of investment have led to negative impacts on staff morale, safety, and prisoner management.
I am concerned about the consequences of 14 years of neglect of our Prison and Probation Service by the Conservative party: critical overcrowding due to lack of investment; staff at all levels feeling exhausted, scared, demotivated, disenfranchised and undervalued; officers facing unacceptably high levels of violence and drug abuse; bullying between prisoners. What is being done to rectify these issues?
My hon. Friend tells it how it is. The Conservative party left our Prison and Probation Service in a mess. Our job, on behalf of the British people, is to clean up that mess. That is what we are doing.

HMP Featherstone, HMP Oakwood and HMP Brinsford in the constituency face pressures due to a high number of foreign national offenders.
HMP Featherstone, HMP Oakwood and HMP Brinsford, including a young offender institution, in my constituency are brilliantly supported by amazing staff. However, one pressure is the number of foreign national offenders in these prisons. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that those foreign national offenders are returned to their countries?
We are already on track to remove more foreign national offenders than the Conservative party ever did.
