This is the best summary I could come up with:

Defendants convicted of some of the most serious crimes including rape and burglary will reportedly face delays in going to prison from next week because jails are full.

Figures uncovered by The Independent last week show overcrowding in prisons is nearing breaking point.

Most jails are dangerously full, with some holding 70 per cent more inmates than they should, including Wandsworth, from which terror suspect Daniel Khalife is accused of escaping.

“What am I going to do if a jury finds someone guilty [of rape],” asked the judge, adding: “Do I release that person who is now convicted back into the community, where the victim might see them?

The UK’s prison population has been steadily rising since 2020 and as of last Friday, it was 88,016, compared with a total capacity of about 88,670.

At his speech to the Conservative Party conference this month, Alex Chalk, the justice secretary, announced plans to rent prison spaces in foreign countries to reduce the pressure.
