英国监狱管理部门计划在原本为单人设计的临时预制舱房内增设第二张床位，以缓解英格兰和威尔士的监狱床位短缺问题。1根据泄露的内部邮件，这一方案涉及包括Wayland、Littlehey、Erlestoke和Rochester等10所C类监狱，预计增加476个床位。1每间临时舱房规格为2.9米×3.4米，原设计仅供一人使用。1
目前英格兰和威尔士监狱关押人数已达87,111人，远超81,616人的安全标准。1对于这一方案，监狱官员和狱警工会表示了强烈反对。1监狱官员协会主席Tom Wheatley表示需要进行充分风险评估，该协会全国主席Mark Fairhurst则指出成员可能因健康安全问题采取工业行动。1司法部发言人回应称，政府正投资47亿英镑创建14,000个新监狱床位。1
Leaked documents reveal that the UK prison service intends to place two beds in temporary prefab cells originally designed for single occupancy as a response to overcrowding in English and Welsh prisons 1. The plan affects ten Category C prisons, including Wayland, Littlehey, Erlestoke, and Rochester, and would add a total of 476 bed spaces to the system 1. Each prefab unit measures 2.9 meters by 3.4 meters and was constructed as a single-occupant facility 1.
The proposal has faced significant opposition from prison leadership and staff representatives. The Prison Governors Association chairman Tom Wheatley called for a thorough risk assessment before implementation, while the association's national chairman Mark Fairhurst warned that members may take industrial action over health and safety concerns 1. Currently, English and Welsh prisons hold 87,111 people, exceeding the recognised safe level of 81,616 1. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson countered that the government is investing £4.7 billion to create 14,000 new prison beds 1.
