Prisoner released early under government scheme assaulted ex-partner the day after he was freed

Recommended Posts

A former actor who was released from prison in error as part of the early release scheme has been convicted of assaulting his ex-partner the day after he was freed.

Jason Hoganson, who starred in the 1987 film Empire State, was one of around 1,700 prisoners who walked free on 10 September 2024 as part of the government's plan to ease overcrowding in prisons.

However, the 53-year-old was actually one of 37 inmates who were released by mistake when the scheme was rolled out.

Despite being released early in error in September, it is understood Hoganson is likely to have been released a few days later anyway under the terms of his original sentence.

Wow, great idea, letting prisoners out early.  They were put in prison for a reason.  Western society is way to soft on criminals.  There are not harsh repercussions for their actions, so they don't change their ways

what's worse they let them out so they could lock up people who said hurty words on twitter, or shouting at a police dog.

It's insane letting dangerous people out but people speaking the truth get punished

None of you actually read the OP did you?

He wasn't supposed to be let out. It was a failure of the prison system, not the government policy.

And he would have been let out in a few days anyway, under the terms of his sentence. Nothing to do with the government policy. Which was also needed because of the previous government's deliberate mismanagement, not "to lock up people for tweets" 🙄

You missed their point(s), which isn’t about the specific fella, but rather the idea in general. 
This wouldn’t have happened if there wasn’t a scheme to release prisoners (ie convicted criminals) earlier than ordered.

Yes it would. As I said in my post, and as the OP says, he would have been released just a few days later anyway.

Stevewinn's point, as a rule, is "anything he can fabricate to make the new government look bad because he can't respect the outcome of the election".

He was scheduled to be out soon after, that was in the OP

There's been hundreds of pardons issued in the last two weeks. Who doesn't know this.

My point is he was still getting out way too soon either way.  Obviously a danger to that poor lady.

making the new govt look bad, they need no help in doing that. - everything they touch turns to ****, releasing people early, making mistakes.

Starmer the most unpopular prime minister in History.

Reform - Leads for the first time. - I say carry on Labour, doing a sterling job.
