50 EARLY RELEASE CONS BACK IN JAIL

MORE than 50 inmates freed early under the SNP government's emergency release plan have reoffended.

The prisoners are back in jail after committing offences including violence and crimes of dishonesty.

A total of 477 prisoners were released early in the summer to tackle overcrowding. Individuals serving sentences of less than four years and who had 180 days or less left to serve qualified for release.

Lifers, or those serving time for sexual, domestic abuse or terror-based offences, were excluded from the scheme.

According to new figures, 57 of the inmates are back in prison after reoffending.
