Per The Guardian, Amnesty International has criticized a proposal to send foreign offenders to prisons in El Salvador, calling it 'financial brutality with British taxpayers' money.' Nigel Farage has outlined plans to build twelve thousand new prison places in Britain using prefabricated modular construction on Ministry of Defence land, with support from the military. He says these measures would create an additional twenty-two thousand prison places compared to those proposed by Andy Burnham.
