Governor Katie Price presides over the Victorian prison, which holds about 1,600 people facing trial in London and criminals on bail, in five wings.

But, he added: “You need prisons because you need to serve the courts. There is a current crisis in prisons in terms of human accommodation. So there are only enough prisons, places available, right now for the number of prisoners that are coming in.”
