The Independent solicits donations to finance on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting paywall-free and accessible to all. Donations support sending journalists to interview multiple perspectives and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word', focusing on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Labour plans to abolish most short prison sentences and introduce a Texas-style earned progression model allowing early release for good behaviour, potentially after serving as little as a third of a fixed-term sentence. The government aims to legislate the reforms soon and to pass a bill when parliament returns in September.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
Labour will abolish most short prison sentences and roll out a Texas-style scheme under which inmates can earn early release through good behaviour, it has emerged. The government will next month legislate for the changes, as well as toughening up community punishments. As it seeks to avoid a fresh prison capacity crisis, it will seek to pass a bill containing the changes when parliament returns from recess in September.
