Prisoners Early Release Act 2025

The Prisoners (Early Release) (Scotland) Act 2025 allows most short-term prisoners to be released from prison after serving 40 per cent, instead of 50 per cent, of their sentence. A breach of prison rules does not form part of the exclusion or eligibility criteria for a person’s release from custody, as the process of using prison rules to amend a person’s liberation date ceased in 2001.
