People convicted of unlawful killing, including manslaughter and death by dangerous driving, are set to be excluded from early release.
The policy is reported as applying to prisoners who receive convictions for unlawful killing. The Evening Standard says the change covers “all forms of manslaughter” as well as death by dangerous driving, meaning those offenders will not qualify for release mechanisms that allow prisoners to leave custody earlier than the end of their sentence.
Other coverage provided here focuses on the same theme—keeping grooming gang members and killers behind bars, including reference to PC Harper—but does not add further specific details in the supplied text. Overall, the outlets align on the direction of travel: the measures tighten eligibility for early release for serious killing-related offences, rather than changing eligibility across the board for all prisoners.
