Several offenders released on license have stated they were not fitted with the required ankle tags, which has raised significant concerns about public safety and monitoring.
One probation officer noted that the delays in fitting ankle tags are due to a shortage of devices, indicating broader systemic issues in the tagging process.
Serco, the security contractor managing the tagging system, is being blamed by the Ministry of Justice for the backlog and is reportedly working to address the situation.
Offenders released without tags can move freely, which one individual described as 'a disaster waiting to happen,' underscoring the potential risks associated with unmonitored movements.
