Prisoners' Release
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison officers have been suspended for mistakenly releasing prisoners early since 5 July 2024.
Answered by Jake Richards
The Ministry of Justice cannot provide the information requested. The internal HR system records details of staff suspensions but does not include the reasons for those suspensions. It is therefore not possible to identify, from centrally held data, which suspensions may relate specifically to the mistaken early release of prisoners.
