A major early prisoner release plan is on hold after backlash over potential early release of men convicted in the murder of police officer Andrew Harper. The Prime Minister has ordered an urgent review to prioritize public safety, halting all releases until the review is complete. Critics, including Justice Secretary Kemi Badenoch, demand permanent exclusion of violent offenders, citing a recent death linked to an early release. The widow of PC Harper called the plan “deplorable,” while his mother insists the pause must lead to a full overhaul, not a quick fix. Around 700 inmates scheduled for release in September will remain behind as officials seek input from victims and survivors to get this right.
