Recent data from the UK Ministry of Justice has shown that wrongful release incidents occurred between April and last October. Ministers face increasing pressure following a series of police chases that followed these incidents. British authorities announced last Friday that they are tightening security measures in prisons. British authorities mistakenly released 91 prisoners in the past six months, sparking a wave of controversy and sharp criticism against the government. Justice Secretary David Lammy apologized to the House of Commons, confirming that the prisoner release system is in need of radical reform. David Lammy explained that three prisoners remain at large, while a fourth case is under investigation.
