Hopefully support services will be put into place, and existing ones altered so that they prevent reoffending.

Ps of all people Sir Keir Starmer with his legal background will know this.

I think there’s a strong chance that released prisoners will go back into prison if their release has not been carefully arranged.

We already have a housing shortage, people sleeping on the streets, people living in substandard accommodation and the eternal issue of housing asylum seekers.
Now they are going to release large numbers of prisoners early to ease the shortage of prison spaces.
On the news just now, prisoners were saying that sometimes, the only option to living on the street is to get back inside and probation officers were expressing the same concern, in addition to the fact that some landlords won’t let to ex prisoners.
It looks like an insurmountable problem.
What do GNs suggest.
