Sunak gave a speech the other day proclaiming the country and its citizens will only be safe in years to come under the tories
Hmm
"High-risk offenders including a domestic abuser who posed a risk to children have been freed from jail under the government's early release scheme, a watchdog has revealed.
Charlie Taylor, the chief inspector of prisons, said the Ministry of Justice's plan to relieve the pressure in overcrowded jails raised "serious concerns" and had undermined safety and risk management.
The disclosure comes amid accusations that the justice secretary, Alex Chalk, has broken a pledge that the scheme would only apply to "low-level offenders".
In a report published on Tuesday, Taylor said a "high-risk" inmate at HMP Lewes who posed a danger to children had his release date brought forward despite "having a history of stalking, domestic abuse and being subject to a restraining order".
Another high-risk prisoner with significant class A drug use issues and a recent history of suicidal thoughts and self-harm was released from the segregation unit into homelessness, despite appeals for the decision to be reversed and staff having serious concerns for his and the public's safety."
Another genius scheme by the 'party of law and order'
