Thousands of criminals left prison 'unlawfully' over past decade, figures show

More than 2,000 prisoners have escaped, absconded or been released by mistake over the past decade - including 142 in the past year alone, figures show. Labour - which highlighted the statistics - has accused the Conservatives of being "soft on crime" after the party found that more than three inmates have left prison unlawfully every week since 2012.
The Ministry of Justice data for England and Wales covers the period March 2012 to March 2023. It showed that since 2012, 146 criminals have escaped from prison, 1,634 have absconded - meaning an escape that does not involve overcoming a physical security restraint such as a wall or fence - and 672 were released in error: a total of 2,452.
