Nearly 1,000 criminals still at large
Justice Secretary, Jack Straw, has revealed that almost a thousand offenders are still free, despite being convicted. The number even includes 19 convicted killers, who have jumped bail or evaded capture after being sentenced.
Sex offenders, such as rapists, and people who have been convicted of manslaughter. Many of these criminals were allowed out of prison on a temporary licence, but failed to return once the licence had expired or been revoked.
The Conservatives claimed the whole scheme was “reckless” and put the general public at risk. Mr. Straw defended the current system, claiming the missing convicts represented only 1% of offenders who were allowed the licence under the early release program.
