Women's prisons could be closed and converted to accommodate male inmates under longer term plans to tackle the overcrowding crisis. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to announce emergency measures within days as the country runs out of available cells in male jails.

It's Sine Die day for our Georgia representatives.
