Government: Prison release only option left on the table

Around 1,700 prisoners are expected to be released on Tuesday from jails across England and Wales in a bid to cut overcrowding.

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says: “It was the only option left on the table because the alternative would have seen the total collapse of the criminal justice system in this country.” Report by Jonesia.
