Prison crowding delays domestic violence plan

Prison crowding delays domestic violence plan

New measures to protect victims of domestic violence have been put on hold because prisons are so overcrowded, it was claimed last night.

The Government had planned to introduce new restraining orders for violent partners last July, yet they have still not been issued and no explanation had been given for the delay.

Now, Equality Minister Baroness Thornton has admitted they have been shelved because of ?pressures on the prison population?.
