Description: The prison population is forecast to rise significantly during the 2020s, and projected demand will soon outstrip supply. There is therefore a need to increase prison capacity. In August 2019, the Prime Minister announced that £2.5bn would be made available to deliver 10,000 additional prison places through the building of new prisons and expanding the prison estate. This has since been amended to £3.8bn, the New Prisons projects now form part of the 20,000 Additional Prison Places commitment; its scope is to build four new prisons (of up to 1,680 places each).
