37 prisoners have been incorrectly freed beneath Keir early launch scheme

Dozens of prisoners were incorrectly freed under Sir Keir Starmer‘s early release scheme after a system error, authorities have admitted. 

Sources from the Ministry of Justice said 37 inmates were mistakenly freed – with five yet to be put back behind bars.

The criminals, who were all jailed for breaching restraining orders, were let out after their offences were logged under outdated legislation.
