Prison Overcrowding Crisis Worsens

Multiple reports reveal severe overcrowding, staffing shortages, and poor conditions in prisons across the UK and Uganda. These issues hinder rehabilitation, increase violence, and raise human rights concerns. Authorities are urged to implement infrastructure, judicial, and reform measures to address the crisis.

Two UK government ministers, Shabana Mahmood and David Lammy, were found to have breached the European Convention on Human Rights by failing to consider mental health needs in prisoner segregation. Sahayb Abu, a convicted terrorist, suffered severe mental health deterioration due to restrictive conditions, marking a legal first in such a case. The ruling highlights concerns over the use of small-group isolation in UK prisons, which research links to serious psychological harm.
