Scotland proposes early release for short-term prisoners to reduce jail overcrowding.
Scotland plans to release hundreds of prisoners early to reduce overcrowding in its jails.
The new Prisoners (Early Release) (Scotland) Bill proposes releasing short-term prisoners after serving 40% of their sentences, down from 50%, aiming for a 5% reduction in the prison population.
The plan, set for three stages over six weeks, excludes those convicted of sexual offenses or domestic abuse.
The Scottish Prison Service supports the bill, noting that overcrowding hinders rehabilitation efforts.
