        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Could Britain not execute the very worst prisoners, and, deport foreign ones?

        @BBCBreaking if they freed all the innocent people who are victims of miscarriage of justice then there would be plenty of room

        @BBCBreaking here's an idea. If you don't want to live in an overcrowded prison. ...don't break the law!

        @BBCBreaking if @G4S_UK had been 'misreporting' prison overcrowding it would have been front page news. How does the #moj get away with it?

        @BBCBreaking you don't need to break the law to go to prison. The police create crimes to hit their targets in my experience

        @BBCBreaking Why do they have to Estimate the prison pop? Do they seriously not know who is locked up? How do we know if someone escapes?
