, said it isn’t “helpful” to draw a link between over-capacity, understaffing, and this recent prison escape until there has been a “thorough investigation”.We can’t say why this happened until we’ve got the results of that investigation.
I don’t think it’s helpful to get into a hypothetical of what was the cause, or what allowed this individual to evade the system and manage to escape. That’s why we’ve got to have that thorough investigation. And then, of course, whatever that flags up, those lessons need to be learned, that changes need to be made, mitigations need to be put in place so that we don’t have this happen again.
