• EXCLUSIVE: Villagers living close to the site of Labour's touted 'super-prison' fear their skies will soon be swamped by 'drug drones'.

The article from MSN discusses the development of a new super prison in the village of Gartree, Leicestershire, England, which is set to be one of the largest in Europe. This prison, part of the UK government's initiative to expand prison capacity, will house up to 1,700 inmates and is intended to address the issue of prison overcrowding. The project has sparked a mix of reactions from the local community; some residents are concerned about the impact on the village's rural character and potential security issues, while others see potential economic benefits from job creation and infrastructure improvements. The prison's construction is part of a broader plan to build six new prisons, aiming to add 20,000 new prison places by the mid-2020s. Despite the government's assurances of minimal disruption and significant investment in the area, there remains considerable debate about the long-term effects on the community and the environment.
