Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2024

Debate

Sentencing Review and Prison Capacity

Contribution

I thank the Lord Chancellor for her statement. In the first wave of early releases, 37 prisoners were wrongly released. What steps is she taking to ensure that those mistakes are not repeated? Does she agree that the best way to reduce reoffending is to ensure that released prisoners are able to participate in the labour market, and what will she do to improve education and training within the prison system?
