"Every day of that disorder, literally every day, we had to check the precise number of prison places... to make sure we could arrest, charge and prosecute people quickly."
"Not having enough prison places is about as fundamental a failure as you can get... They thought: Ah, they'll never arrest me and if they do, I won't be prosecuted."
"They saw the cracks in our society after 14 years of failure and they exploited them. That's what we've inherited – not just an economic black hole, a societal black hole."
