英国政府宣布撤回原定的囚犯提前释放方案，改为投入资金加快监狱建设以缓解监狱过度拥挤问题。1根据新计划，政府将投入1.1亿英镑用于加速监狱建设，力求到2031年增加14000个监狱名额。1
前司法大臣David Gauke对政府的这一选择发出警告，称在监狱容量接近上限的水平运行存在"巨大风险"。1尽管Gauke认可政府面临的选择受限，但他强调了继续在高容量状态下运营监狱的危险性。1政府之前计划从10月份起释放约5000名囚犯，此举旨在缓解监狱压力，但现已被放弃。1根据政府的新方案，获准提前释放的囚犯将被要求佩戴GPS监控设备。1
The British government has abandoned its plan to release approximately 5,000 prisoners early starting in October, instead pivoting toward an accelerated prison construction program to tackle mounting overcrowding 1. The government will invest £110 million to expedite prison building, with the aim of adding 14,000 prison places by 2031 1.
Former Justice Secretary David Gauke has cautioned that the government is taking a significant gamble by maintaining prison operations at near-maximum capacity 1. He characterized the situation as running prisons at "red-hot" levels while acknowledging that the government's options are constrained 1. Released prisoners will be required to wear GPS monitoring devices as part of the revised approach 1. The Conservative Party has alleged that Labour's plans would leave at least 23 categories of serious violent and sexual crimes subject to automatic early release provisions 1.
