About 700 prisoners are due to be released on 1 October under revised early-release plans, according to the new schedule.
The plan retains the original timetable for the release of offenders, following a commitment made by Andy Burnham’s government. It sets out that the group of around 700 prisoners will leave custody on the specified date.
The supplied details do not provide further information about the prisoners affected, the length of their sentences or the criteria applied to the revised arrangements. No additional reaction or explanation of the changes is included.
The 1 October release date remains the latest position set out in the plan.
