    The alternative is that somebody is released without a penny so their first resort is further crime.

    Immigration and Asylum

    How on earth does that happen? The almost exponential growth is amazing, be interesting to see if it has grown as a proportion of the total number released or whether it just looks inflated because a lot more prisoners were released 24/25 in the early release scheme.
