Prisoner released in error' was actually freed lawfully, minister says
"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."
"A prisoner thought to have been freed mistakenly was actually found to have been released lawfully after additional checks were made, it has been revealed. Meanwhile, another inmate released in error is now back behind bars. It means the current total of prisoners at large after being let out in error stands at two, justice minister Lord Timpson told Parliament. He noted, however, that things can change quickly. The Labour frontbencher said the blunders were symptomatic of a system stretched to its limits."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and emphasizes free access by avoiding paywalls. Donations pay for journalists to investigate matters like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produce documentaries such as 'The A Word', which focuses on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Separately, multiple accidental prison releases have occurred in the UK, with one prisoner initially thought released mistakenly later confirmed to have been lawfully released and another returned to custody. Ministry of Justice data show 91 accidental releases between April 1 and October 31, prompting tighter security checks and an independent investigation.
