Reality Check: could women be the solution to Britain's prison problem?

Amid rising backlash over the early prisoner release scheme, Kemi Badenoch has called for emergency legislation to stop the plans going ahead. The new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has already halted the plans until a review has been conducted. The situation with prison overcrowding is a ticking timebomb – what options are available?

Petit Cintre

I don’t suppose I agree with half of what is said, but the civility and calm of each speaker is welcome. I can think of counter-arguments and the listener is not overwhelmed with repetetive nonsense. Just some occasional nonsense.

Although it might be interesting I can’t listen to this series because of the outdated, sexist title. Why on earth would women want or need balls to be powerful and effective?
