Former Prisons Minister Ann Widdecombe reacts to Labour’s sweeping sentencing reforms — including early release for serious offenders after serving just one-third of their sentence, and controversial proposals for the chemical castration of sex offenders.
In a fiery exchange, Widdecombe slams the government’s plan as a response to prison overcrowding rather than a genuine effort to reduce crime or protect victims — and questions the legal and ethical implications of mandatory treatment.
