Writing in the Observer, Shabana Mahmood praises the justice system for demonstrating it could rise to this challenge after the outbreaks of violence, adding that plans have been made to ensure that anyone involved in further lawbreaking would be pursued until the last offender languishes in one of our jails.
Because of their failure, we have record crown court backlogs. We were left with prisons so close to overflowing that we had no choice but to release some prisoners a few weeks or months early. The impact of these days of disorder will be felt for months and years to come. They make the job of rebuilding the justice system harder.
