00:00We should have built more prisons and we shouldn't have closed some of the old Victorian jails before the new ones came online.

00:07But let's be very clear about what's happening here.

00:10This isn't about the number of prisons that have been built or otherwise.

00:13This is about administrative failure in the prison service and the Ministry of Justice in the last 12 months

00:20that has led to a spike in the number of criminals being released accidentally.

00:24And it's about the performance of this Justice Secretary who has chosen to conceal what's happening from the public

00:31rather than being honest and transparent as this is duty as Justice Secretary.
