Lock 'em up and throw away - no -give them the key

There's a bit of a problem with prison overcrowding in Britain, and to solve this problem pre-fab quickie jails are being erected. Wooden huts really.

Problem is, because of 'health and safety' and danger of fire, they have to give prisoners the keys, according to a National Audit Office report as reported in this Guardian article.

The report says: "The risk of fire means prisoners have their own
keys to get in and out of the building and in category C prisons security is
maintained by a security fence around the unit."

But the Home Office denies that risk of fire is the reason prioners are getting keys

The Home Office last night denied that prisoners had been
given their own keys because the units were a fire risk: "This is not a 'risk of
fire' issue. Some low risk prisoners in category C prisons have the ability to
lock their cells for privacy and protection of their possessions."

Well, that's ok then.
