Chris Huhne and Vicky Price freed from prison
Monday 13 May 2013

Former Cabinet minister Chris Huhne and his ex-wife were both freed from prison today after serving around a quarter of their eight-month sentences for swapping speeding points.

Huhne, a former energy secretary and once-aspiring Liberal Democrat leader, left Leyhill Prison in Gloucestershire by the main entrance in the back seat of a silver Honda, making no attempt to avoid waiting media cameras.

His ex-wife, economist Vicky Pryce, earlier emerged from East Sutton Park Prison near Maidstone, Kent, via a back exit and left with her solicitor Robert Brown, pursued by press photographers who been camped outside the Category D open jail for women and young offenders.

They are expected to wear electronic tags for the remaining parts of their sentences.

Is it normal practice to release criminals after only a quarter of their sentences in England?

yes - they're now on tag and probably license which is a cheap way of freeing up cells - if they fail to adhere to the terms of the license they will have to return to prison to complete the sentence in full.

Yes.

All are allowed 50% of their time on license, the other 25% will be on a curfew on tag.

Just how would I know?
Perhaps you could ask some of your Tory friends and let me know. The Tory party has a wealth of knowledge in this area.
Lord Archer... Neil Hamilton...Jonathan Aitken...Lord Hanningfield...Lord Taylor............

That's if they're not to busy, of course. :lol:
What with a health service to sell off
Disabled people to persecute
Homeless people to stick the boot into
Jobless people to victimise
Bankers to protect
Immigrants to blame
Backhanders to trouser
Expenses to trough

A Tory's work is never done... :shock:

That's why he's not included on the list. Though it's hard to tell the difference these days. :wink:
