The United Kingdom Prime Minister, Mr Boris Johnson has promised that an extra ten thousand new prison places will be created and stop-and-search powers expanded in his country.
The first new prison in the two-point-five billion pounds programme will be at HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire, where expansion plans have previously been announced.
The government said the plans showed it was serious about fighting crime.
But Labour’s shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, said random stop-and-search was a recipe for unrest.
The prison and policing plans for England and Wales follow other recent initiatives from Downing Street about the NHS and immigration.
