In comments to the British Independent newspaper, Chief Inspector Peter Clarke explained that the “Military Corrective Training Center” does not have the statutory authority to continue managing its ex-inmates after their sentences have expired.
“This arose because of a statutory anomaly that does not include the military in the arrangements that apply to non-military offenders on release. This meant that the few offenders being released into the community who presented a high risk of harm to others were being released without proper supervision or risk-management,” he said.
In January 2018 the internal state of the prison system in the United Kingdom was revealed when whistleblowers speaking to Sputnik revealed conditions described as representing “humanitarian crisis."
