Jail figures hit new high amid "talks to lease' cells in Estonia

Official figures showed there were 88,521 people behind bars yesterday, 171 more than the previous record set at the end of last week - the highest levels since weekly population data was first published in 2011.

The prison population has risen by 1,025 people over the past four weeks, likely driven by the number of people remanded in custody or given jail sentences following the recent disorder across parts of the country.
