:04:28. > :04:32.wrong path. So if these young people are not stopped, they will take it
:04:33. > :04:35.through to their adulthood. They will continue re-offending. The

:05:10. > :05:12.there's less violence, fewer drugs and more time spent out of cells.

:05:53. > :05:55.saying that's fine, but it's not just about staff. It's also about
:05:56. > :05:59.the situation in some of these jails. He says that basically the
:06:00. > :06:03.situation is just grim and they are squalid. That includes the Young
:06:04. > :06:06.Offender Institutions. Now the Ministry of Justice is saying it's
:06:07. > :06:11.created a youth custody service. It says this is a sign of how committed
:06:12. > :06:14.it is to try to tackle this problem. Peter Clarke is saying in response,
:06:15. > :06:20.well, that's fine and these initiatives are fine, but really,
:06:21. > :06:25.what is important are the practicalities that flow from these
:06:26. > :06:28.initiatives. He and his colleagues produce these reports on adult

:06:42. > :06:46.if they're not acted upon, it's all a bit futile. As we've already
:06:47. > :06:48.reported, he is saying that in the Young Offender Institutions, if

:14:07. > :14:09.but the architects say the flats were too big, the service charge

:14:14. > :14:16.allowed the developers to pay them ?12 million,
:14:17. > :14:20.which they should now spend Research for the BBC shows that
:14:21. > :14:26.in 2016, Kensington and Chelsea agreed to take nearly ?47.5 million
:14:27. > :14:31.from developers in such deals. Of the money property companies

:15:09. > :15:12.on that job terribly. Kensington and Chelsea told
:15:13. > :15:14.us they're struggling to provide affordable homes,
:15:15. > :15:17.due to being a small, densely packed area with limited
:15:18. > :15:21.sites and high land values. They say they do what they can,
