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:
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Looneys of Ramsey to close
No one hurt in Coranny car blaze
Sewerage, population, GP appointments and housing among the west's top issues for CoMin
Jamie Devine enjoying 'the graft' of pro boxing journey
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
