• 1,700 prisoners released early to ease overcrowding
• Domestic abusers, violent offenders excluded from release
• Early releases monitored with strict licensing and tagging

The policing minister stated that prisoners scheduled for parole early tomorrow have been sifted through to prevent domestic abusers from being released.

Some 1,700 prisoners will be released early on Tuesday to relieve overcrowding in England and Wales’ jails.

The government stated that extremely violent offenders, terrorists, and domestic abusers would not be freed as part of the initiative.

However, domestic abuse commissioner Nicole Jacobs told The Times that victims of domestic abuse are having “sleepless nights” about the release because they are concerned that those who have been convicted of crimes such as common assault against a partner will not be identified as perpetrators.

Dame Diana Johnson, the policing minister, stated that the government has been working to prevent this.

She stated, “There’s been a thorough investigation to determine where their principal crime isn’t domestic abuse; we know there’s a history, and that’s where the efforts have been taken to protect as best we can.

Because we know that spousal abuse is extremely common within the offending community.

Sir Keir Starmer has accused the previous Conservative government of failing to build enough prisons, claiming that he was “forced into” releasing criminals early.

Dame Diana stated that approximately 1,700 convicts will be released tomorrow. As part of the temporary program, some 5,500 convicts in England and Wales are anticipated to be freed earlier than planned throughout September and October.

According to the administration, the offenders will serve the remainder of their sentences under the “strictest licensing conditions” and be tagged.

However, Martin Jones, Chief Inspector of Probation, stated that there are “no risk-free options available”.

He stated that the probation service now has “at least a fighting chance of getting this right” after the government gave it eight weeks to plan for the initiative.

However, he warned that because so many offenders had been freed, some may re-offend when they should have been in jail.

In August, he told The Times, “I think it’s inevitable, being realistic, that things will go wrong.” I wish we lived in a perfect world where this didn’t happen.

At the very least, you will notice that if people are forced to focus on those, they will begin to discover where things go wrong and draw lessons from them very fast.

I also believe there is some element of a numbers game involved, as you are constantly rolling the dice regarding major additional offenses.

Unfortunately, if you release thousands of people, there will be some occasions when things go wrong.

According to a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice, the new government inherited a crisis-ridden justice system and has been compelled to take difficult but essential steps to ensure that dangerous criminals are kept behind bars while protecting the public.

Anyone released under Home Detention Curfew is risk-assessed, subject to the toughest licensing terms, and must be tagged.
