Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a fresh set of emergency measures to curb prison overcrowding as she warned jails are on track to be down to "zero capacity" by November.
Mahmood unveiled changes to prison recall on Wednesday, with criminals serving between one and four years of jail time being returned to custody only for "a fixed 28-day period."
She said the move would free up about 1,400 prison places and buy ministers time to overhaul a system "on the brink of collapse."
However, Mahmood's Conservative counterpart Robert Jenrick said: "Labour have decided to let out criminals who reoffend early. They’re siding with criminals over the public.
"Labour’s Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has chosen to put the public at risk rather than deporting the foreign criminals who are clogging up our prisons."
