Boris Johnson: Rapists and murderers let out too soon - this ends now

The video discusses the rising violence in overcrowded prisons and the Prime Minister's plan to increase prison capacity by 10,000 places, costing £2.5 billion. Critics argue that this will worsen conditions and lead to more violence. The plan includes ending early release for serious offenders, which could further strain the system.
