Birmingham prison: 'More sex offender space needed'
"HMP Birmingham The Victorian jail can cater for up to 1,450 adult male prisoners at a time
The justice minister has been urged to provide extra space at HMP Birmingham to cope with the rising number of sex offenders being sent there.
The Independent Monitoring Board said the jail was struggling to cope with more historical sex offence cases being solved, a rise in internet pornography convictions and more rape prosecutions.
It has now written to Chris Grayling asking for him to investigate urgently."
