About 700 prisoners will be released early across the UK today
The BBC reports that a new initiative will see approximately 700 inmates nationwide gain their freedom today. The measure aims to alleviate congestion in correctional facilities, which currently possess slightly more than 1,100 unoccupied spaces for adult males. Individuals granted release will be subject to an unprecedented level of oversight in Britain, involving fresh authorities to control their movements.
