Are these early releases that unusual? I was less than two weeks into a 12-month stretch when a wholly unsolicited letter under my cell door told me that I would be let out after three months. I duly was.
If anything, I can only wonder what any nonviolent offender might have done to be required to serve 40 per cent of a sentence. In my experience, it is 25.
If that is not normal, then anyone would think that the entire system had thought from day one that I was as obviously innocent as numerous Prison Officers and successive Probation Officers never tired of telling me that I was.
I would have longer holidays without having left the country.
