Labour has found prison space for political protesters, social media offenders and people who say the "wrong thing" online.
But killers, rapists, paedophiles and violent criminals? Apparently they need to be released early.
Victims were promised justice. Now they are being betrayed.
6,000 Criminals Set for Early Release Under Labour"s Sentencing Reforms
Prisoners convicted of offences including manslaughter, rape, grievous bodily harm (GBH), and sex offences will become eligible for release after serving half of their sentences instead of the current requirement of serving two-thirds. Those convicted of burglary, theft, assault, and repeated shoplifting will also benefit from the reforms, becoming eligible for release after serving just one-third.
The first 700 offenders are expected to be released in September, with similar numbers following each month over the next nine months as the new system is phased in. While the Ministry of Justice declined to confirm a total number, it is understood that between 5,000 and 7,000 prisoners will ultimately benefit.
