The Scottish government has released over 500 inmates to address severe prison overcrowding.

Inmates with under four years of sentences and 180 days or less remaining are being released, with sex offenders and domestic abusers exempt.

Victim Support Scotland warns this could lead to reoffending, noting a 40% reoffense rate from a previous early release.
