Things such as prisons have to be built, they have to go somewhere. Bail hostels also have to go somewhere. The least the planners could do is consult the locals.

My answer to the problem would be that everyone forego early release, if you get 10 years you serve 10 years, to the very day. I would also make prisons a harsher place to be, with in-mates at least four to a cell, that would at least double the prison capacity in an instant. Sod the human rights issue, those rights should be dispensed with when you transgress the rules of your society.
