Home Affairs Minister hopes changes will mean better-behaved inmates
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson says he hopes changes to the way prisoners might earn an early release from jail will mean better-behaved inmates.
Among the changes being considered would see prisoners who take part in educational programmes earning time off their sentences.
The moves come after Tynwald set up a committee to look at the issues of parole and early release, in the wake of the Donovan Kitching case.
Kitching is serving a jail term for causing death by dangerous driving, after he ran over a visitor just a month after his early release from Jurby.
Mr Watterson says the rules will be tightened:
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Dan Kneen Charitable Fund calls off popular 24hr cycling event
First election candidate for Douglas North declares intention to stand
Allinson: "I still want to be involved in politics of local community"
