Prison releases: Man let out early says he’d be better off in jail

After last month’s releases, Cardiff council said it had 11 prison leavers looking for housing in a single day.

This month it anticipated two ex-prisoners might need help, but information had been patchy, according to Lynda Thorne, the council’s cabinet member for housing.

“It is a really worrying aspect,” she said.

“It’s not knowing the numbers and then having all the numbers on the one day.

“If they could just adjust that, it would be much easier – and when we have somewhere to house them.

“Because if we haven’t got anywhere to house them and they reoffend, then they’ve defeated the object.”

Thorne added: “It’s putting more pressure on a service which is not coping as it stands.”
