David Cameron also wants to create six “reform prisons” whose governors would be given more freedom to implement reforms and control spending
Prisons that release most criminals who reoffend should be named and shamed in new league tables, the Prime Minister will pledge today as he criticises the “scandalous failure” of Britain’s jail system.
The new data drive would see tables published that measure each institutions’ reoffending levels as well as tracking how well a criminal is improving at reading and other basic skills.
