Watch as GB News host Ellie Costello grills Labour's Justice Minister: "How many paedophiles, rapists and grooming gang members are going to be let out of prison early!?"
From September, the Government will bring into force part of the Sentencing Act 2026, enabling some offenders to be released earlier in an effort to relieve overcrowding in prisons.
Reports have suggested that killers, rapists and sex offenders could be among up to 6,000 criminals released from prison early in a few months time.
Labour's Jake Richards told GB News he was unaware of the official figures, but stated they "need to save 7,500" prison places.
