JAIL CRISIS: 60,000 PUT IN POLICE JAILS

dont get me wrong the police have a hard job but have no respect from this government.
why dont the police hierarcy start pressuring the government and start embarrasing them daily about how useless they are in making promises and never had any intention of keeping them. i mean the building of these 2 prisons when john reid was home secretary.
these should have been just about completion status now but alas i bet they have not even reached the drawing stage
