Original Note:
The release of some prisoners after serving 40% of their sentences was announced in early July and was due to prisons being overcrowded. The Southport stabbings which triggered the riots occurred on 29 July. No proof for the claim of pedophiles released via this scheme. https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/jul/07/labour-consider-plan-to-release-prisoners-after-40-of-sentence-served https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd1jxmrk11yo https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2024/jul/30/southport-stabbing-latest-knife-attack-children-hospital-merseyside?page=with%3Ablock-66a93c3c8f089a1d7c5fb6bc#block-66a93c3c8f089a1d7c5fb6bc
