Labour: Soft on Crime, Soft on the Causes of Crime, Soft on Punishment of Crime.

Well, Labour are making good on their promise of letting prisoners out of jail early. 

It would be nice if we had more details to reassure the public what type of prisoners, serving what type of sentence were being released, but instead it seems to be a blanket release.

Hopefully the sort of people being released are the sort of soft crimes like people sent to prison for non-payment of the TV licence. Why that's a crime punishable by prison time I don't know.

But soft crime I can sort of agree with.

But if we're talking about assault or murder, then nope, they should stay in. Any sort of offence that has an element of violence, aggression or lack of respect should not be shortened.
