Third wave of early prisoner releases begins in England and Wales
On Tuesday, around 650 prisoners will leave jails in England and Wales — the third phase of the government's programme to relieve overcrowded prisons. Since 1 October, at least 1,350 people have been released, with at least 2,500 expected by the end of the year. The programme covers increasingly longer sentences, up to June, when prisoners serving more than 12 years will be released.
