Around 1,700 prisoners are to be released early from jails in England and Wales, in a bid to cut overcrowding.
The chief inspector of prisons is warning that it’s “inevitable” some of those released will go on to commit more crimes – but the government says they do not have the space to keep them locked up.

@moretimeneeded56
Release the ones with IPP sentences. These don’t have a set release date and one guy has done 12 years already for stealing a phone as a youth. These sentences are no longer given out so why are people still held?
@denicelee6760
not only they are putting general public into danger, the government is also sending a message to everyone , there may be no / minimal consequence for committing a crime!

Criminals released to make room for social media posters who question authority.

@real_philosophy_audiobooks
It seems that, in all his time as a prosecutor, Starmer has picked up connections to the criminal underworld and is now doing favours for his underworld friends. It also explains why nothing was done about the grooming gangs and why nothing is being done about the people-smuggling gangs. It's all beginning to add up.

This country is finished
@user-jw9zu8dv8j
TTK should release ALL prisoners and lock up 'far right' otherwise known as patriots and pensioners. To allow illegal immigrants to live in their homes and spend their pensions.
We should not forget what Liebour have done and how they have treated the people of this country.
Our Great Grandparents fought and died for this country, for this posh out of tough TOOL to destroy their retirement!
Starmer's dad was obviously very good at his job because he made one hell of a tool in Kier.
If i was still serving in the Army, i would have handed my notice by now. There is no way i would go to war under this plank, and i very much doubt recruitment into the armed forces will increase as needed under this dictatorship. The majority of the armed forces are white working class. The enemy in his eyes "far right thugs."
@user-vr2ij6yb6h
Until the British really stand together and put a stop to this corrupt Globalist Controlled Government, things will only get worse and the UK will probably be Declared as an Islamic State under Labour with Starmer being the WEF's Front Puppet. 😒
@thewonderingwolf6509
"no room in prisons" how about building more modern prisons with guard towers stopping the drones?
@joshua4918
Why weren’t prisoners offered less time for joining the army
@specialandroid1603
I fear for the victims of some of the offenders being released early.

Wow so it's Labour fault that the Tories in power 14 years did not build new prisons? I did not no U could build a big prison in two months?😂 That's how long thay bin in charge! So wot happens clever people on here if U don't release people an then theres no more room for people to go to prison? The murders an arm robbers wot that go on tag do thay? Cos there no more spaces? One of U very intelligent people on here must have an answer😊 😊😊
@deadsoulrob
These people deserve a second chance, of course the whiners and complainers are in full force, they have served their time and the goverment have decided they are fine to let out Absolute disgrace of a nation really, cant give their fellow man a second chance

@MrElaguatero5
When I was young, as a latinoamerican, we all were looking at UK as a perfect model of culture, we can't believed that policemen didn't use guns. Nowadays, politicians corruption, left wing activists, " human rights" defenders, turn upside-down that beautiful country. Somedays ago I heard that a politician said " pensioners must choose to eat or be warm this winter." Unbelievable!!! And now they are going to released 1700 jailed people. This means the ultimate failure they can do. Destroy the judicial system the police authority and submerged the victims in profound despair.
@Kerry-ft2zf
They didn't need to release dangerous criminals, S offenders

@daveborder7751
Problem is what happens when they re-offend & have to go back inside? Do they then release the ones they just replaced this lot with? Is Starmer going to build more jails/convert derelict buildings into jails/reform the system to rehabilitate people, or is it just going to be a never-ending game of musical chairs?

The sistem is disgusting and orribile
@wildwildwestima
Its a bit strange she got the call from her sons friend and not the prison.
@zantas-handle
Don't fall for the cover story that this is all just 'a mistake'. The chaos and conflict being created in this country is all very deliberate and designed to support their plans to introduce harsher policing, Stop and Search, and Digital I.D. Just watch.
