PM Vows 'Wholesale Reform' In Prison System

David Cameron has promised "wholesale reform" of the British prison system after years of "scandalous failure". He said: "It can be easy for us all - when prisons are closed off by high walls and barbed wire - to adopt an 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude. Mr Cameron announced the establishment of six so-called 'reform prisons' by the end of the year, where governors will be able to manage their own budgets and have 'complete control' over the way they run the jails.
