Remember, last time we tried shipping prisoners off to an island, they retaliated and gave us Neigbours!

Just to make sure I understand, prisoners released early aren't able to get JSA etc until their original release date right?
So they're given up to Ã‚Â£172 (I'm right in thinking that many get less than that yeah?) to cover that period so they don't have to resort to crime to survive yeah?
And the Ã‚Â£172 is less than it would cost for them to remain inside?
So, what's the problem?

Are people objecting to early release prisoners being given an alternative to crime?
