he's been pretty pro jail for his entire career
He was director of public prosecutions. The most prison-putting job in the whole country. I can’t begin to imagine how much dissonance a left-leaning, socially conscious, empathic future Labour leader must have felt being in charge of putting people in prison.

he means put people in jail, he's been pretty pro jail for his entire career, and the few times he's spoken about policy are to hire cops and criminalise more behaviour
dude loves prisons, and it's not really sensational to say that
