“Stick Them On A Plane Back To Where They Came From” | Alex Phillips

Some prisoners released early this week have already been sent back to jail, The Telegraph reports.

The first was returned to prison within 36 hours of being freed on Tuesday under the Government’s early release scheme.

About 1,750 prisoners were let go as jails in England and Wales neared capacity. They were released after serving 40% of their sentences, instead of the usual 50%. Most have been recalled for breaking licence conditions, which restrict their movements and require them to meet with probation officers.

The first recall happened after a prisoner failed to show up at a pre-arranged address.

Alex Phillips speaks with former detective chief inspector, Mike Neville and political strategist, Peter Barnes.
