Domestic abuse survivor's desperate plea to Burnham not to free her ex from jail

Grooming gang perpetrators and killers, including those responsible for PC Harper’s death, will be blocked from early prison release under major changes announced by Andy Burnham following a backlash over the scope of the scheme. Some 5,000 prisoners had been due to be released early from September under plans to ease jail overcrowding, down from 6,000 after ministers intervened to exempt rapists and “serious” child sex offenders. Domestic abusers, however, are among those eligible for early release. Mollie Cousins survived violent abuse by her ex - who was given a five-year jail sentence, but could be released after just 15 months. She joined Richard and Charlotte on GMB. Broadcast on 31/08/26.
