Reform UK pushes overseas jails to halt UK early-release scheme
TL;DR Summary
Reform UK proposes sending foreign prisoners to serve sentences abroad or deporting those with non-custodial orders to their home countries, potentially renting prison space in places like El Salvador, Kosovo, or Baltic states to scrap Labour’s early-release policy. The plan estimates freeing more than 10,000 UK prison beds and funding Nightingale-style facilities, but Labour says the idea is impractical and would take years to arrange amid ongoing capacity pressures (UK prison population around 86,500 with capacity concerns).
