I hope no dangerous prisoners will be released, but I won’t hold my breath. We were told that dangerous prisoners wouldn’t be released under the early release scheme under the Conservatives, but it turns out that they were.

It has been clearly stated that prisoners who are violent in any way will not be included so I don’t really see the problem.

Just this and Maizie’s comment at 17.30!

The aunt of Zara Aleena,who was murdered by a man who had been out on licence for nine days, raised concerns that Labour was 'gambling with public safety' and convicts will not be 'supervised adequately'.

It wasn't Labour who let him out on licence. They've only been in government for 7 days.

Note midgey's post at 17.24.
I read that, too, on the BBC website.

Why not build more prisons?
