Keir Starmer defended the decision to release prisoners early due to overcrowding, attributing the crisis to prior government inaction, stating he had no choice but to act.
Nigel Farage criticized the early release of prisoners, indicating a divided public sentiment over justice and highlighting serious criminals being let go, amidst cheers as they left prison.
Charlie Taylor, prisons watchdog, warned that Labour's early prisoner release is "risky" and that it is "inevitable" some released will return to crime.
Starmer expressed his frustration, noting "I'm angry to be put in a position of having to release people who should be in prison" due to past governmental failures.
