The U.K. Is Releasing 5k Prisoners to Make Room for Anti-Immigration Protestors

TRANSCRIPT:

FAIRHURST: "We will guarantee a prison cell. We will make sure that those people who need to be in prison will be in prison — not necessarily in the area where they live, they may be 200-300 miles away from home, but we will guarantee people in prison cell."

REPORTER: "The numbers are so tight. How can you make that guarantee?"

FAIRHURST: "They are tight. That’s why we’ve initiated Operation Early Dawn. So, basically, the easiest way to describe it is one in, one out. So, as people get released, we can then pick up people from police cells and take them to court, and we will triage that three times a day."
