Pay rise for prison guards to tackle violence

The video discusses the crisis in the UK prison system, highlighting riots and low staffing levels. The government plans to recruit 2,500 prison officers and address issues like drugs and drones. However, some view these efforts as insufficient and reactionary. Inmates suggest more staffing and better post-release employment opportunities. With rising suicides and assaults, the government may need more radical reforms in the upcoming prisons bill.
