MORE than 1,300 criminals including thugs, robbers and burglars have been released early from Merseyside jails since June, 2007, it was confirmed yesterday.Leading prison officers warned last night the Government’s early release programme was putting the public at risk.
The scheme was bought in last summer to ease pressure on Britain’s overcrowded prisons.A total of 1,344 criminals in the city region were allowed out up to 18 days before the end of their sentences under End of Custody Licence measures.
