If prisoners are locked up for a short term for minor misdemeanours then I agree with letting them out.
Keeping so many people gathered together like that could bring about so many deaths.
Now that really is criminal.

I'd say the same if it were Labour, we've got a Pandemic going on and we decide to release Prisoners into the population? That's reckless imo, no matter which Party is coming up with the idea.

You said, "just when you thought the Tory party couldn't get any more ridiculous". That sounds pretty much like politicising to me.

I think they're handling it as well as can be expected. We have had nothing like this before that people can call on for experience. 100 years ago there was a flu pandemic, but society is very different now, and there are far more people. Every time I see a Labour politician on TV they're making sly, point-scoring digs at the government, like it goes without saying that they would do better. Well, anyone who's not in charge can claim they could do better.

But if labour were in charge, then the Tories would be point scoring & blaming them anyway .

Will they have tags?

Then I would be as critical of them as I am of Labour.

Not sure, probably a temporary measure as Iran released prisoners yesterday

You really going to compare Nazreen with loads of other prisoners being potentially released ?? :facepalm: .

As far as I'm aware Nasreen did nothing wrong or have I missed something?.

The last few they released early were terrorists who went onto slaughter innocent members of the public

If they do early release the non dangerous inmates .... then my generous side says they should be put to work on the menial , non skilled jobs that will be left unattended by virus.

Early release means they are free, not slaves.

Why not? She was released with a large cohort of other prisoners due to the virus ....I doubt they will be releasing lifers

Well give them the choice .. stay in and serve HALF of their actual sentence.. or get out even earlier and do those non-skilled jobs ( and get paid !) that will be need to be filled .. .
Much better than putting out army / navy :air force guys to work which has been suggested
