1,100 more prisoners set for early release as minister admits recall rate very high'

The current strategy will not include further emergency releases, as Mahmood argues that merely building more prisons is not a viable long-term solution to overcrowding.
With a focus on thorough reintegration, the government’s review under David Gauke is set to examine both sentencing lengths and the entire justice framework.
