Original Note:
Hoganson was released at the half way point of his sentence. Releasing prisoners at 50% of sentence served was Conservative Party policy. The early release scheme was brought in under the Conservative government due to lack of prison spaces & overcrowding. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c238gp5pxzlo https://amp.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/jul/12/over-10000-prisoners-freed-70-days-early-sunak-government https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx777w9vgv9o.amp https://amp.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/09/government-crisis-measure-prison-overcrowding
