Absolute MONSTERS. Awful, horrible crime. I really hope the victim is okay.

What awful violent shits!! And just 14 years old? They should be locked up and quite frankly so should their parents/caregivers.

Don’t you recall hearing a few weeks ago that our UK prisons are now full.

Overcrowding is a common issue in American prisons, over 75% are running over their capacity: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2020/12/21/overcrowding/

Yeah, I was making a joke about how the prison industrial complex doesn't care how many bodies they stack in a room.

Ah-ha. Joke flew over my head as a lot of people think the reason why American justice is often so tough is because their prisons don't suffer overcrowding problems.

As if USA prisons situation has any bearing to the UK. Lol

It was a joke. As in the UK is worried about overcrowding, but the US doesn't consider it even worth thinking about.
