Anthony Devlin/PA WIRE About 50 people from Greater Manchester were released early under the scheme Rebecca Brahde North West 10 October 2026 Eight men have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police days after leaving prison under the government's early release scheme.
全国约有700名囚犯于10月1日被提前释放，旨在缓解监狱过拥挤问题，其中约50人来自大曼彻斯特。
About 700 prisoners from across the country were released early on 1 October in a bid to tackle overcrowding, with about 50 of them being from Greater Manchester.
大曼彻斯特警方证实，有五名男子因违反刑事命令被逮捕，包括家庭暴力预防令，其他人则因涉嫌抢劫、毒品犯罪和家庭暴力被拘留。
GMP confirmed that five men had been arrested for breaches of criminal orders, including a domestic abuse prevention order, and others were held on suspicion of robbery, drug offences and domestic violence.
对此，司法部（MOJ）表示：“我们继承了一个濒临崩溃的监狱系统。如果我们未能采取行动，警方将被迫停止逮捕。”‘史上最严格的控制措施’在提前释放计划的第一阶段，刑期不超过19个月的罪犯在服刑三分之一后即可获得提前释放。
In response, the Ministry of justice (MOJ) said: "We inherited a prison system on the brink of collapse. If we had failed to act, the police would have been forced to halt arrests." 'Toughest-ever controls' Under the first phase of the early release scheme offenders serving sentences of up to 19 months were eligible to be released after serving one third of their sentence.
此举将导致全国在年底前再有2500名囚犯被提前释放，原因是监狱系统目前的使用率已达98.2%。
The move, which will see a further 2,500 prisoners released across the country by the end of the year, is due to the prison system running on 98.2% capacity.
司法部表示：“我们绝不会危及公共安全。这就是为什么我们将在街道上部署数千名更多的社区警察，将警察经费提高至185亿英镑，并将缓刑服务的投资提升至历史最高水平。
The MOJ said: "We will never jeopardise public safety. That is why we are putting thousands more Neighbourhood Police officers on to our streets, upping police funding to £18.5bn and taking investment in the probation service to record levels.
‘为了管理假释人员，我们将推出史上最严格的控制措施，包括全球首创的限制区、电子监控的最大规模扩展，以及让受害者参与制定假释条件。’”大曼彻斯特警方副总警长特里·伍德表示，警方一直与合作伙伴“密切合作”，以确保“制定周密的计划，确保罪犯遵守其条件”，并补充称，任何违规行为“都将被，并且正在被——大曼彻斯特警方执行”。
"To manage offenders out on licence, we are rolling out the toughest-ever controls, including world-first restriction zones, the largest expansion of electronic tagging, and giving victims a say in licence conditions." GMP Deputy Chief Constable Terry Wood said the force had been working "closely" with partners so that "robust plans are in place to ensure offenders are adhering to their conditions" adding that any breaches "will be, and are being - enforced by GMP".
正如在大曼彻斯特地区发生的任何犯罪行为一样，一旦有犯罪报告，我们将及时作出反应，采取积极行动保护受害者并追捕罪犯，他补充道。
"As with any offending in Greater Manchester, where there is a report of a crime we will respond promptly to take positive action to protect victims and pursue criminals," he added.
