Summary
Under changes made to the Sentencing Act, 6,000 offenders were set to be released from prison in September after serving just a third of their sentence. "My Government will deliver the fastest prison-building programme since the Victorian era and do what’s necessary to fix the prison crisis." The early release scheme was initially scheduled for September in a bid to ease overcrowding. Victims will also have access to better support and reassurance that offenders leaving prison face tougher supervision and punishment.” Article continues below The government also announced that wider releases from prison under the Sentencing Act would be delayed from September to October.
Furthermore, Measures would include curfews and electronic tagging. Those found by a court to be the most dangerous or serving a life sentence were already banned from the scheme. The changes mean rape and child sexual offences will be added to the exclusions that were already in place for 18,000 offenders, including those who have been found by a court to be the most dangerous or anyone serving a life sentence. Changes to the Sentencing Act separately prevent violent inmates from being released early, with a new progression model ending automatic release.
