What does it say about UK jails that prisoners are to be compensated for being let out early?

Not so much compensated as being given money to live on as we can't find prison places for them. The real scandal is why there aren't enough prison places, which stems from the question of why we sent so many more people to prison in the first place. It seems our kneejerk punishment mindset in this country is incapable of thinking through the consequences of our decisions.
