Prisoners' Release
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners have been released in error under her Department's early release scheme since 10 September 2024.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
All of the 37 people released in error because of being incorrectly sentenced for breaching restraining orders under outdated legislation are now back in custody.
Data on releases in error since 10 September 2024 forms a subset of data intended for future publication.
