In the past three weeks, 12 prisoners have been accidentally released - Justice Secretary David Lammy announced this morning.
This is in addition to the 91 who’ve also been mistakenly freed in England and Wales in the last six months.
It’s fair to say, the justice system is in a bad way - leaking from the sides.
Trying his best to mop this up, Lammy also announced today that jury trials in England and Wales should be scrapped except for in extreme cases.
Oli Dugmore is joined by Rachel Cunliffe for a New Statesman justice review.
