The Conservatives are pledging to end the early release scheme which would see 25,000 prisoners freed from jail this year to ease overcrowding.After the recent spate of youth violence that has littered their streets with the bodies of young children, British Conservatives have decided to get real.
About 6,000 prisoners have so far been released before the end of their sentences to ease prison overcrowding.
But the Tories say the scheme puts lives at risk, leaves crimes unpunished and interrupts rehabilitation.Canada has to follow suit here.
The Ministry of Justice has estimated about 30,000 prisoners will be released early in the first 12 months of the scheme - many of whom have been convicted of violent crimes.
Before it's too late.

LAST WORD: Let's stop the insanity
When a convicted offender walks into the office of his assigned probation officer for the first time, his personal slate is as clean as winter's inaugural snowfall.It's time to take the handcuffs off the good guys... and put them where they belong.
Virtually everything about him is effectively buried.
His medical and rehabilitation history is a no-go zone, all of which puts his probation officer in a perilous corner -- simply because our highly protective privacy laws have the offender's file sealed off.
