2,000 prisoners are to be released today, the first wave of 20,000 due to be released, to ease the prison overcrowding crisis caused by the Labour government's incompetence in the area of law and order. It is good news to hear that they will each be paid £200 because all too often prisoners are released with only £46, which they have to make do with until they get paid something from the Department of Works and Pensions 3 weeks later. Some will be able to rent accommodation, and no doubt some will blow the money on heroin or crack cocaine.
