Violent and sexual offenders to be confined to zones of 'a few miles' after release from prison

Ministers intend to introduce restriction zones for prisoners convicted of violent and sexual offences upon their release from prison. These designated areas, spanning a few miles in width, are designed to confine offenders to specific locations. The primary objective of this measure is to decrease the likelihood of unwanted contact between criminals and their victims, thereby enhancing safety. This new policy aims to strictly limit the movement of high-risk individuals following their period of incarceration.
