The British government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the Labor Party, plans to release violent criminals from prisons, freeing up space for those exercising their freedom of speech and assembly. According to Modernity News, the proposal aims to make room for "prisoners sentenced in connection with rioting – which includes people who made inflammatory posts on social media." The independent news outlet also added that those engaging in "extreme misogyny" online could find themselves behind bars, in line with the early release scheme. "The emergency scheme is designed to tide [His Majesty's Prison Service] through … as the number of spare places in male jails hovers between just 300 and 500," the Telegraph stated. "It is understood that no single prison will release more than 100 prisoners … and sources said the mass release would be staggered." Under the scheme's first tranche, about 2,000 prisoners – all serving sentences of less than five years – will be freed on Sept. 10. A second tranche of up to 1,700 – this time consisting of prisoners jailed for more than five years – will be freed on Oct. 22. This was made possible by a change to the law, which will allow for their release after serving 40 percent of their sentences instead of the current 50 percent. From Oct. 22 onward, eligible prisoners who served 40 percent of their sentence will be automatically released. According to the Telegraph, the early release scheme will free up an estimated 5,500 prison spaces over its 18-month duration. While the scheme will reportedly include "criminals convicted of violence who have been jailed for less than four years," there are certain categories of prisoners that won't be released. These include terrorists, sexual offenders and those serving longer jail terms for more serious violence.

The British Ministry of Justice said any prisoner released on parole would be strictly monitored by the Probation Service through measures including electronic tagging curfews. If they breach their parole conditions, they could be recalled to prison. But Modernity News noted that the early release scheme aims to decongest British prisons. With violent criminals out on the streets, this frees up jail space for Britons "convicted for their role in anti-immigration riots over the last few weeks." (Related: New leftist British PM plans to use emergency powers to RELEASE 40,000 PRISONERS.) "In other words, actual violent criminals who haven't even served half of their prison sentences will be out on the streets so that boomers who posted spicy memes on Facebook can be locked up. Some of the individuals being convicted for their role in inciting the riots didn't even appear at the riots, but instead made social media posts that contained things such as 'anti-establishment rhetoric' or posted 'misinformation' about the Southport attacker being a Muslim refugee." During a visit to Northern Ireland, Starmer was asked if the early release scheme for violent criminals posed a "risk to public safety." "We've taken tough decisions," he answered. "We've been able to prove that if you commit disorder, you can expect to be put through the criminal justice system quickly, and we will continue in that vein." Starmer also blamed the previous Conservative (Tory) government for its "basic failure" to build prison facilities. He argued that previous Tory prime ministers – Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak – failed to establish "enough prison places for the number of prisoners that were being sentenced to prison." The plan to free prisoners followed riots in the U.K. that stemmed from the Southport stabbing incident in late July. Rwandan Axel Rudakubana went on a stabbing spree in the seaside town, killing three children and injuring several others. Outraged Britons took to the streets to protest unchecked migration, which allowed Rudakubana's parents in the U.K. in the first place. Head over to Tyranny.news for similar stories.
