Thousands of criminals escape or are mistakenly released from jail as criminal justice system in tatters under the Tories
Item actions
More than 2,000 dangerous prisoners – including violent thugs, rapists and robbers - have escaped, absconded, or been released in error over the last decade under the Tories, leaving the public at risk.
The Conservatives have gone so soft on crime that since 2012 more than three prisoners have left prison unlawfully every week, new analysis from the Labour Party has found.
Over the last year alone, eight prisoners have escaped, 63 absconded and 71 prisoners have been released in error.
These figures come following a series of high-profile cases in which dangerous criminals have been left to roam the streets.
Earlier this year Rayon Newby, who was serving a sentence for assault, harassment and burglary offences at HMP Thameside in Greenwich, was released in error. Last year the sex offender William Fernandez was released in error from HMP Wormwood Scrubs in London. After his accidental release, he raped a 16-year-old girl and sexually assaulted a young woman.
The Conservatives have created chaos in the criminal justice system. After 13 years, they have had 10 different Justice Secretaries and are focused on fighting amongst themselves rather than fighting crime.
