Description

How much worse can it get, hundreds of inmates wrongly freed every year from Britain's jails, the latest an Algerian sex offender now at liberty roaming the streets. And this was after new measures introduced to stop it happening again following the embarrassment of the mistaken release of Hadush Kebatu, the Ethiopian illegal migrant who sexually assaulted a 14 year old girl. We have skin in the game, Professor David Wilson is not just a criminologist but was also a prison governor at Wormwood Scrubs and Martin Frizell, broadcaster and journalist lives in the neighbourhood of Wandsworth Prison, scene of the latest scandal. So how do we fix it?
