Prisoners react after early release #EarlyRelease #England #Wales #Prisons
We spoke with prisoners released early from HMP Berwyn in Wales, as the government's early release scheme has taken effect across England and Wales. Hundreds of prisoners are being released early to try and ease overcrowding in prisons.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the new early-release scheme in England and Wales and the fact that hundreds of prisoners are being freed, with each linking it to prison overcrowding. Channel 4 News foregrounds its own interviews with prisoners released early from HMP Berwyn in Wales, while BBC News is alone in foregrounding the question of why prisoners are being freed and the reaction of victims.
