12 more prisoners were released by mistake in the last month, with two of them still at large, the UK Justice secretary David Lammy has said.

But opposition MPs claimed there was a “dangerous level of incompetence” within the system. #Prisoners #UKNews #DavidLammy #C4News #Channel4News | Channel 4 News
