UK Activates Operation Early Dawn to Address Overcrowding in England's Jails Amid Riot Sentencing
Aug 19, 2024, 04:26 AM
In response to recent riots in the UK, the British government has implemented an emergency plan to address prison overcrowding in England's jails. The rapid sentencing of individuals involved in the riots, which followed the Southport knife attacks, has led to concerns about the capacity of the prison system. As a result, Operation Early Dawn has been activated overnight, which involves keeping defendants in police cells until space becomes available in prisons. This move aims to manage the surge in the prison population and prevent overcrowding issues.
