Danielle Reece-Greenhalgh is quoted on the government efforts to balance the connected crises in prisons and the courts

Partner Danielle Reece-Greenhalgh is quoted in The Law Society Gazette on the government efforts to balance the connected crises in prisons and the courts.

Criminal justice has been chronically underfunded for decades and the government is taking steps to address the backlog of cases and prison overcrowding. According to Danielle, “the government is stuck between a rock and a hard place”, adding: “Either serving prisoners get released early to make way for those due to be sentenced, or judges may be forced to more frequently use non-custodial options in cases where offenders otherwise would have expected to serve time.”
