Early Release Of Prisoners
EDM number 1860 in 2005-06, proposed by David TC Davies on 21/03/2006.
That this House notes with grave concern that numerous violent offences are committed by prisoners who have been released under early release schemes; recognises that there is little public awareness that most prisoners in the UK serve half or less of the sentence that was passed down to them by the Court; further notes that press reports of crimes committed by prisoners on early release have undermined confidence in the justice system; congratulates newspapers such as The Sun which have campaigned to bring this issue to the wider attention of the public; and calls on the Government to end all forms of early release on licence and to give assurances that all sentences will be served in full.
This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
