Violent Criminals Will Be Released to Make Space for Social Media Thought Criminals

The Labour government is set to release thousands of criminals, including those convicted for violence, in order to make room for prisoners sentenced in connection with rioting, which includes people who made inflammatory posts on social media.

In an effort to tackle to jail overcrowding crisis, Labour has ordered the release of 2,000 prisoners on a single day next month, in addition to a second tranche of up to 1,700 who will be released in October.

Criminals who have served 40 per cent of their sentence or more will be freed, partly to make space for Brits convicted for their role in anti-immigration riots {snip}

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 which contained things such as “anti-establishment rhetoric” {snip}

As the Telegraph reports, those released from prison “will include criminals convicted of violence who have been jailed for less than four years.”
