What did Janet Street-Porter say on Loose Women today?
Today’s edition of Loose Women saw Janet and her fellow panelists to discuss women in prisons. Yesterday (Tuesday, June 27), the Princess of Wales opened a family-friendly residential centre in Southampton. However, as Coleen Nolan explained, the development has been designed as an alternative to prison for women with children.
“I think it’s a really good idea,” Janet said. “I mean, personally, I think there are very few reasons why any woman should be locked up in prison.”
She then continued. “And I think pregnant women and women with families are too categories that should definitely not be incarcerated unless they really present a danger to the public.”
