Two prisoners released from separate prisons early as part of a government scheme have thanked the process, with one saying: "There's practically no space." The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has confirmed it will not disclose the exact number of prisoners released under the new rolling early release scheme, which could see an estimated 50,000 offenders a year leave jail before completing the custodial portion of their sentences. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "We inherited a prison system on the brink of collapse. If we had failed to act the police would have been forced to halt arrests, putting communities at untold risk. "Our changes are part of a long-term overhaul of sentencing, ending the crisis in our prisons and keeping dangerous offenders behind bars. The Sentencing Act follows an independent review and was fully scrutinised by Parliament." #Prison #Jail #ukcrime #uknews #GBNews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbn
