Turn of the screw

Good news! Here at the Ministry of Justice we are pleased to announce that the prison population has risen to 83,518 (which is only 648 below the operational maximum), and is set to rise to 95,800 by 2015. That's an increase of nearly 15%. Our critics may point out that this estimate is actually lower than previous ones and hence that crime figures may be falling, but let us reassure you that this is solely due to gross mismanagement and the early release of potentially dangerous offenders.

We're doing our bit, so why not do yours? If you know anybody who deserves to be 'inside', or even if you fancy a spell at Her Majesty's pleasure yourself, contact us at Ministry of Justice, 102 Petty France, SW1H 9AJ, United Kingdom.
