💨 Abstract

Sir Keir Starmer's government is facing criticism for reducing the jail time for dangerous offenders who breach their release conditions to just 28 days, aiming to ease prison overcrowding. Critics argue this policy, which applies to sentences of one to four years, invites criminals to reoffend. The move follows an earlier scheme that released 16,000 prisoners early.
