A major political party has unveiled plans to overhaul prison release policies, arguing that current rules allow inmates to be freed prematurely and contribute to rising crime rates. The proposals aim to tighten sentencing laws by eliminating early release provisions, positioning the measure as a direct response to public safety concerns. Critics may question whether stricter terms could overburden the justice system or fail to address underlying causes of reoffending. Supporters claim the changes would send a clear message on law and order while reducing repeat offenses.
The party says its proposals would stop prisoners being released early and cut crime.
