Summary
The crisis facing prisons in England and Wales is nothing new - in fact, governments of every stripe have been trying to fix it for decades. Patrick Maguire asks why they've failed, and what can be done to improve criminal justice in the future.
Plus Manveen Rana and Matthew Bell discuss Israel's fallout with the United Nations, whether we should be scared of the AI future and Rachel Reeves plagiarising Wikipedia in her new book.
