Britain’s jail crisis deepens as number of lags being recalled to prison hits record high
A RECORD number of lags are being recalled to prison in another damning sign that the justice system is failing.
One in five of the sentenced prison population are there after being hauled back to jail.
That is 12,920 people, up by seven per cent from the previous year.
In the year to September 2024, there were nearly 32,500 admissions to prison following a recall — a 27 per cent increase from the previous year.
It comes after Labour let out thousands of prisoners early last year in a bid to free up space in overcrowded jails.
A quarter of those sent back had committed another crime while on licence while most others had failed to comply with their probation terms.
The recall figures, published by the Prison Reform Trust, particularly highlight those on short sentences of fewer than 12 months, with almost 10,000 offenders sent back to jail.
Chief executive of the Prison Reform Trust Pia Sinha said the findings showed changes were needed in Britain’s jails and called for an end to short recalls.
She said: “Today’s briefing highlights the urgent need for further reforms to recall and our use of short prison sentences.
“The evidence is clear, short prison sentences are less effective than other community sentences at reducing crime, and the growing use of recall is trapping people in the criminal justice system, rather than supporting them out of it.
“Further measures are needed if the government is to avoid another prison overcrowding crisis.
“These should include the abolition of the use of short, fixed-term recalls of 28 days or less; the removal of post-sentence supervision for people serving short sentences; and a transition towards more effective community-based solutions through the introduction of a presumption against short prison sentences.”

Molly-Mae Hague hits back at Tommy Fury reunion rumours with defiant statement after ‘clues’ they’re back together
MOLLY-Mae Hague has hit back rumours she’s reunited with Tommy Fury with a defiant statement.
The Love Island winner split from Tommy last year, leaving fans stunned as she co-parented their daughter Bambi, two, with the boxer.
However, just months after she called off their engagement, The Sun revealed how Molly and Tommy shared a passionate kiss on New Years.
A source close to the pair has since told how their romance is back on track – and Molly-Mae’s family is not happy.
But now the 25-year-old has clapped back at speculation about her relationship, telling MailOnline: “What others think about my relationship is not my concern.”
The Sun told how Molly’s family are watching her reunion with Tommy Fury play out from afar.
Her sister Zoe has urged Molly-Mae to move on with her life without Tommy.
A pal told us: “Molly-Mae’s family and friends saw the hell he put her through and they’re horrified that his feet are back under the table.
“Just six months ago she confided in them that she was expecting other women to come out of the woodwork, as well as saying his drinking had pushed them to the brink.
“Now she’s back in Tommy’s arms and it all appears to be moving so quickly.”
Tommy is now spending nights with Molly-Mae in Cheshire, at the home she kicked him out of in August after confronting him over cheating allegations.
The reconciliation is all being captured for the second part of Behind It All, which will film later this year.
During the first part, fans watched at the end of episode three as Molly-Mae read The Sun’s story about her NYE snog with Tommy.
Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague‘s new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague’s transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
“It’s possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: “Molly-Mae’s transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”
Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she’s also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.
“Gone are the ‘look at me’ posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger avoids awkward run-in with ex-wife as he ducks out of family snap at LA premiere for son’s series
HOLLYWOOD star Arnold Schwarzenegger ducks out of a family photo with his ex-wife Maria Shriver.
The star — known for his Terminator catchphrase “I’ll be back” — was at the LA premiere of White Lotus series three, which stars his son Patrick, 31.
Arnie, 77, and Maria, 69, split in 2011 after news he fathered a child with his housekeeper.
Patrick posed with brother Christopher, sister Christina, fiancee Abby Champion, Maria, sister Katherine and her actor hubby Chris Pratt.
On his racy antics in the series, Patrick said: “I cant say much but I’m going to leave the room when my family watches some episodes.”
The actor looked totally unrecognizable as he was spotted in New York City with a white beard and wearing a Christmas sweater last year.
The 77-year-old was on set for his latest holiday movie – his first festive flick in nearly three decades.
As well as the facial hair and Christmas attire, the star was in character with facial prosthetics.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was filming scenes for The Man With The Bag, in which he stars alongside Alan Ritchson.
While full details of the new movie have yet to be revealed, an official summary reads: “When Santa’s magic bag is stolen, he turns to his naughty list to find Vance, a former thief, to help him get it back.
“Along with his daughter, Santa, and a group of misfit elves, Vance will have to pull off the greatest heist of his life to save Christmas.”
The former governor of California plays Santa Claus in the film while Smallville star Alan, 42, takes on the character of Vance.
Arnold starred in the 1996 Christmas classic Jingle All The Way.

MOON OVER THE SEA (11.55 Southwell, nap)
Can shine for in-form trainer Tony Carroll. The Midlands handler is running away with the all-weather title and has formed a potent partnership with Rossa Ryan this winter. They are running at an impressive 40 per cent winners when they team up and can boost that tally with this six-year-old who was just pipped at Wolverhampton last time. Top-class Rossa takes over from an apprentice today and he can steer him into the winners’ enclosure from the same handicap mark.
GETAWAY DRUMLEE (3.40 Wetherby, nb)
Can land his first chase win after a couple of promising places since switching from hurdles. He looked ready to win when second at Fontwell last time where he saw out this trip without any problems. The handicapper has left his mark alone and he can strike for Sunracing columnist Ben Pauling.
REALLYNTRUTHFULLY (4.03 Hereford, treble)
Kicked off this season with a convincing win at Warwick. He wasn’t so happy tackling Windsor’s twists and turns last time but was far from disgraced in fifth. He can get back on track here.
UNASSUMING (6.30 Kempton, Lucky 15)
Didn’t last home over 1m2f at Lingfield and can show his true colours back over a mile. He went close at Southwell two starts ago and trainer George Boughey is in good nick.

Ladbrokes CEO breaks record for shortest-serving boss after abruptly leaving less than six months in charge
THE CEO of Ladbrokes has been abruptly sent packing after less than six months — breaking the record for the shortest-serving boss of a FTSE 100 firm.
Gavin Isaacs joined Ladbrokes and Coral owners Entain on September 2 last year, coming with 25 years of experience in the Vegas gambling industry.
But after just 163 days, the firm announced he would be leaving “with immediate effect”.
Shares in Entain tanked by 11 per cent yesterday as investors balked at the shock exit, plummeting by 82.20p to 660p.
The vanishing act was made all the more bizarre when the departure announcement was accompanied by a reassuring trading update — suggesting the problem was down to Mr Isaacs himself, and not the performance of the business.
One insider said there was a “fundamental personality and culture clash” with the boss.
It is thought the Aussie, 60, had a brash, no-nonsense approach, which rubbed his colleagues the wrong way.
Paul Ruddy, analyst for financial advisors Davy, said: “There were differences between him and the board which were seemingly irreconcilable.”
An Entain spokesman last night would not confirm if there had been any complaints about Mr Isaacs’ behaviour within the firm.
His departure marks Entain’s second CEO departure in 14 months, as predecessor Jette Nygaard-Andersen left in December 2023 after a probe into alleged bribery in a Turkish subsidiary, as well as the firm’s sluggish performance.
Entain chair Stella David, who stepped in after Ms Nygaard-Andersen’s departure, is to run the firm again on an interim basis but will likely decline being the permanent CEO.
Jefferies analyst James Wheatcroft said: “The negative market reaction to yet more turmoil at Entain will be slightly offset by the comfort derived from the chair, Stella David, stepping back into the interim role.”
Meanwhile, Mr Isaacs’s departure means he has beat out former Persimmon boss Dave Jenkinson in having the shortest stint in City history at the top of a London blue-chip.
But he still spent 114 days longer in charge than Liz Truss at No10, and 119 more than Brian Clough at Leeds Utd.
Stockbroker AJ Bell found that the average FTSE 100 boss spends just over five-and-a-half years in post.
Running a football club is much more ruthless — with those in charge of Championship teams serving just over nine months in the top job.
Around 18 bosses running FTSE 100 firms have been in charge for more than a decade, with Next’s Lord Simon Wolfson in post for 35 years.
Nevertheless, a record number of global CEOs left their posts in the last 36 months or less — showing investors’ impatience at achieving results, analysis by Russell Reynolds reveals.
DUNELM: I’M DONE
DUNELM’S boss follows star Holly Willoughby in making a major career move — departing the home furnishing retailer after seven years at the helm.
Nick Wilkinson, 58, announced his retirement yesterday, which was paired by awarding investors a special dividend.
Dunelm, which partnered with Dancing on Ice’s Holly last month, toasted its “resilience” with sales rising 2.4 per cent, and increased market share as it won over more shoppers.
Since joining in 2018, Mr Wilkinson has transformed the firm’s online business, and saw the retailer weather lockdowns, Covid supply chain issues, and now Budget worries.
He said of his approach: “Cost headwinds are a feature of retail. But growth helps.
“If we sit on our hands just waiting for it to get easier, we’ll be left behind.
“Consumers don’t wait, they are savvy.”
Mr Wilkinson will stay on as CEO until a successor is named, before pursuing his life passions of rock-climbing and charity work.
KA-SHING BIDS FOR THAMES
HONG Kong’s richest man has put in a rescue bid for troubled Thames Water.
But Li Ka-shing, boss of CK Infrastructure — which already owns a big stake in Northumbrian Water — is not the only white knight.
Scots utility firm Castle Water offered £4billion ahead of the deadline for bids, which closed on Monday.
France’s Corvalis, backed by the country’s waste water giant Suez, is interested as well.
Li’s fund is said to be confident that it can secure approval from regulators.
But rival bidders will argue that a competition inquiry into the UK private water owner will delay Thames’s rescue as it stares down financial ruin.
Thames Water is separately waiting for a court to approve a lifeline from bond investors.
The alternative is a government-backed special administration, as it will run out of cash by the end of next month.
BP’S FALL IN PROFIT
THE boss of energy giant BP yesterday vowed to “fundamentally reset our strategy” after a tumbling in profits.
BP reported a slump in profits to £7.9billion from £11billion the previous year while activist hedge fund Elliott is set to push for a shake-up.
Murray Auchincloss told investors there would be a “new direction for BP and not business as usual”.
The overhaul is expected to be a watering-down of BP’s investment in green renewable energy
LOITTE OF GENDERS
DELOITTE has told its UK staff to keep using gender pronoun markers on emails — hours after telling US staff it had to remove them.
The “Big Four” consulting giant chose to “sunset” its diversity targets across the pond in the wake of Donald Trump’s White House return.
The President has made sure federal contracts will not be handed to firms who “promote gender ideology.”
But Deloitte’s UK boss told staff the move was only to comply with US laws, and it was committed to “building an inclusive culture.”
AIRPORT LIFTS OFF
HEATHROW will today unveil a multi-billion pound investment to expand the airport and terminal ahead of building its third runway.
The nation’s biggest airport is heading to a British Steel plant to commit to using UK-made metal wherever possible — a move welcomed by the Government.
It is hoped to secure thousands of factory jobs — with the new runway alone expected to need 400,000 tonnes of steel to complete.
It may set back fears for the industry amid the recent steel tariffs move in the US.

Exeter 2 Nottingham Forest 2 (2-4 pens): Premier League high-flyers survive huge scare against 10 men League One side
NECO WILLIAMS scored the winning penalty in a shootout as Nottingham Forest survived a huge scare in Devon.
With the game tied at 2-2 after 23 MINUTES of stoppages and another half an hour of extra-time, the game went to penalties.
Heartbreaking for the League One minnows, Rees Cole and Angus MacDonald failed to convert theirs and Williams stood up to fire the decisive penalty to win 4-2 in the shootout.
Josh Magennis had Forest rocking when he fired Exeter into a fifth-minute lead.
But Romon Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi turned the game on the head by half-time, but a Willy Bony own goal, deflecting a Magennis effort past his own keeper, after the break set-up a cracker.
Exeter were reduced to 10 men when debutant Ed Turns was sent off with four minutes left after being given a straight red for a late tackle on Morgan Gibbs-White.
The Grecians sit a whopping 58 places below Forest in football’s pecking order.
And the Premier League club made 10 changes to their starting line up with only Danilio keeping his place from the side that thumped Brighton 7-0.
But any complacency that this was going to be a stroll was dispelled within five minutes.
Demetri Mitchell found space on the left edge of the box to shoot with his left-foot.

Keeper Carlos Miguel made a complete pig’s ear of it by fumbling the ball.
And Magennis was on hand to fire home the rebound into the empty net.
Forest tied the scores through a piece of good individual skill you would expect at the top level.
Sosa, who scored in the third round win over Luton, was at it again by riding a couple of Exeter tackles after being played in by Ibrahim Sangare before expertly placing a shot past Whitworth.
Whitworth produced a great piece of goalkeeping when he somehow managed to fling himself full-length to claw a Jack McMillan volley round the post.
But Forest moved in front with a piece of lovely quality from Awoniyi.
Sangare played a lovely pass into the Forest ace, with his back to goal and crowded by four Grecians defenders.
And he turned on a six-pence on the end of the box to curl a superb shot past Whitworth.
But Exeter were back in after the break.
From a corner, Miguel could only palm a Magennis header straight back to the striker, who shot love through a crowded six-yard box.
The ball took a deflection off Boly to beat the keeper.
It proved to be the last piece of the action Miguel saw as he hobbled off with a hamstring injury with regular Matz Sels coming on.
And how they needed the Belgium keeper when Niskanen exchanged passes with Magennis before his powerful low effort was saved.
With 20 minutes left it was time for Forest to start bringing on their big guns. First Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White replacing Ryan Yates and Sangare.
Gibbs-White combined with Anderson before seeing his powerful low shot kept out by Whitworth.
Exeter were dealt a blow with four minutes left when Turns was given a harsh straight red by ref Andrew Kitchen. His tackle was a little late on Gibbs-White but the official deemed it too high.
Whitworth and Awoniyi collided two minutes into the 10 added for stoppages.
Both players received treatment but the Forest striker needed 10 minutes of medical treatment to a head injury before being carried off on a stretcher
Chris Wood came on as the game had another eight minutes to go as the clock passed 10pm.
And Pat Jones almost snatched a famous victory in the NINETEENTH minute of stoppage time but fired an angled effort inches wide of the left post.
Then incredibly Jay Bird was put through but his effort was kept out by Sels.
And then in the 23rd minute stoppage time Gibbs-White rattled the bar.
Wood saw a brilliant header kept out as Forest laid siege in extra time but Exeter held on for pens but it was a heartbreaking end for the hosts.
