London Mayor Sadiq Khan (as reported by the Daily Mail) says he is reviewing an early prison release scheme after criticism tied to the killing of Metropolitan Police officer Andrew Harper. The criticism is amplified by Harper’s widow, Lissie Harper, who calls the programme “soft justice” following reporting that two of the officer’s killers are due to be released early. The article describes public concern that existing release arrangements could allow perpetrators to serve less than the full sentence, prompting renewed scrutiny of how and when prisoners become eligible for early release. In response, Burnham—referred to in the reporting as being forced to review the scheme—indicates that the matter warrants reconsideration in light of the reaction to this particular case. The coverage centers on whether the release framework should be adjusted to address perceived fairness and public confidence, though specific policy changes, timelines, or alternative release criteria are not detailed in the provided excerpts.
