Shelagh Fogarty is joined by both Vicky Pryce and LBC callers to discuss whether Andy Burnham should release female prisoners and turn female prisons into male ones. 00:00: | Vicky Pryce says most women are in prison for 'non-violent reasons' 08:34: | Claire thinks that women should be on 'house arrest' or 'tagged' to free up space for men 12:59: | Karen believes female inmates could 'work in the community' 17:19: | Briege says 'it takes us backwards' to view prison reform through the lens of gender Andy Burnham has vowed to "reduce the number of people released early" and in the case of the most serious offenders "like those convicted of the killing of PC (Andrew) Harper, prevent their early release altogether”. It comes as the PM said he was “increasingly confident” that work to increase space in the prison system will be successful.
