The King’s Speech contained a number of measures that would mean criminals either being given longer sentences or being prevented from being released from jail earlier, but there are fears for how it will affect Britain’s already overcrowded prisons.
In his introduction to the speech, which was delivered by King Charles on Nov. 7, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wrote, “We are keeping people safe by making sure the police and security services have the powers they need and that criminals receive proper punishment.”
