Scotland releases up to 390 prisoners early to alleviate severe overcrowding in its jails.
Scotland is releasing up to 390 prisoners early to address severe overcrowding in its jails.
Emergency legislation allows inmates with sentences under four years to be freed after serving 40% of their term, down from 50%.
The releases will happen in three phases over six weeks, excluding those convicted of domestic abuse or sexual offenses.
The Scottish Government expects this to reduce the prison population by 5%, aiming to support rehabilitation and reduce re-offending.
The move comes as prisons face "critical challenges" with inmate numbers.
