Early Release Crisis: Tagging Delays Cause Concern
In a troubling turn of events, hundreds of prisoners released early in England and Wales are not fitted with electronic tags, despite this being a condition of their release. The Ministry of Justice blames security contractor Serco for the delays, prompting criticism from watchdogs. As overcrowding pushes jails to the brink, the failure to monitor offenders raises serious concerns, especially for domestic abuse survivors. The government must act swiftly to ensure all released individuals are tagged to protect vulnerable communities.
