The electronic tagging system that will be relied upon to monitor thousands of offenders released early from prison is failing to alert the authorities of potential breaches of conditions, a watchdog has warned. Killers and domestic abusers will still be eligible for early release, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed. “Significant complexity” was involved in managing the monitoring process, leaving probation officers “overwhelmed and disengaged” by the volume of correspondence. Harper’s mother, Debbie Adlam, said her family was “paying the price” after learning her son’s killers remained eligible for early release under the plans. However, without reinstating the exemption to the early release scheme, I fail to see how that is possible.”
