‘Absolutely unacceptable’ that wrongful release of prisoners has increased in Labour, minister says – live UK politics | politics

The Guardian’s Senior Political Correspondent, Peter Walker, provides some context behind the wrongful release from prison in this useful analytical review found at HMP Wand WandSworththe South London Prisons category hit the headlines once again after the wrongful release of two prisoners in one week. Here is an extract:

WANTED no more than 963 men, mostly WandSSLYs with about 1,500 kept in shabby and often dirty conditions, at times locked in cells for 22 hours.

Adding to the chaos is the constant state of most prisoners. According to another report In the prison, it was published this month by one of the independent monitoring boards that go to the prisons to look at the convicts, only 15% are left, who remember the cases Wandsworth, who are remembered, who remember the Remand cases, who remember the Remand cases, who remember the Remand cases, or have not yet been judged.

Overseeing all this is about 85 staff, and always less. According to Taylor’s report, a combination of illness and training commitments meant that at any one time a third of the prison staff was away from prison duties.

Those in the prison wings often do not experience. Across the prison service in England and Wales, every year about one in seven Junior Prison staff are being let go, and for senior officers the attrition rate is one in eight.

In Wandsworth, Charlie Taylor, the Chief Inspector of Prisons, It turns out that this mass of inexperienced prison officers makes implementing change difficult. “Staff are being deliberately neglected, they don’t really understand their role and they don’t have direction, training and consistent support from leaders,” he wrote.

David Lammy’s refusal to confirm whether any asylum seekers have been wrongly released since the questions of a boy in a small houseboat on a small ship

James Cartlidge said:

All I know is that we have a tip-off there is another such case, we just don’t know for sure.

You don’t know how much unless you’re running around the department and he stood up and answered my questions.

He has the facts at his fingertips and he is in front of Parliament, he has a ministerial code to be transparent, and he does not answer questions.

And my judgment is a deep mistake and a discussion in Parliament, regardless of what it means to follow the ministerial code.

Cardtlidge added: “I’m not saying he misled the house – he didn’t answer the question.”

Speaking to Sky News, Lisa Nandy rejected suggestions that the under-pressure justice secretary David Lammy that it was “avoidable” in his management of the News that a prisoner was wrongly released from HMP WandSTorth, saying that he “had weight on his mind” What information to share.

Asked if his avoidance is too difficult to trust ministers on the issue, the secretary of culture said:

I didn’t accept that he was weak. I was in the House of Commons Chamber, I was there, I was sitting next to the home secretary, and I saw that he was thinking about what information to release.

He was asked about an asylum seeker. The case in question is not an asylum seeker.

And I think that all of us as ministers have an obligation to make sure that when we talk about matters of public importance and put information in public the facts and make sure that the absolute facts are presented.

Lammy is facing scrutiny over his handling of the wrongful release of the Brahim Kaddour-Cherif After he refused to answer questions put to him on the issue in the Commons on Wednesday.

On Thursday he insisted that Parliament had not been deceived. “I take the judgment that it’s important when updating home and country about serious things like this that you have all the details,” he said.

Kaddour-Chinif, 24, from Algeria, was accidentally released on 29 October from prison at WandSport in South London. He was arrested in FinSbury Park, North London, on Friday after police said they received a call from a member of the public.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of UK politics.

The culture secretary, Lisa Nandypromised that the labor will go to “GROT” the prison crisis as the government continues to pressure after several high-profile cases of prisoners who were wrongly released.

Speaking to Sky News’ Trevor Phillips this morning, Nandy confirmed that the four wrongly released are still prisoners.

He said it was a “totally unacceptable” situation where an average of 22 people were wrongly released from prisons under a number of times in the previous administration.

Nandy said that the “antiquated” paper-based system within the prison service partly explains the wrongful release – which is about to overwhelm a broken system – if the labor of failure – if the labor of failure – if the labor of failure won the general election last year.

Nandy told Sky News:

What I will tell you is that under the last government, in many times, there were, on average, 17 wrong releases.

Under this government that has been resurrected. It’s 22 – that’s totally unacceptable. It was unacceptable then, it is unacceptable now.

Even one is too many, and the haponesa The Secretary held it by appointing Dame Lynne Owens, who was the former director of the National Crime Agency, to ensure that we started this paper-based system that was developed in the 1980s that is still in use; construction of new prisons; and making sure we have extra checks so people aren’t wrongly released.

The prison officers’ association (POA) has called for a “complete overhaul” of the sentence calculation and release process and warned the justice secretary, David Lammynot to seek to blame individual officials for systemic failures.
