Violent prisoners get released early

A few weeks ago the government said they were going to release tens of thousands of prisoners. They said these would not include violent offenders. It now appears that they were lying because a number of very violent offenders have been released Infact some have already committed a crime by committing robbery on a train while on their way to see their probation officer.

Elsewhere a man who had threatened to kill his partner and another member of her family was released in the south west of England and an offender jailed for using a samurai sword to threaten the public was released this month, despite the fact that his parole report was negative.
