[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The Government is desperately trying to pass a new law to stop any more gunnies being freed from prison automatically by setting up a specialist Parole Board panel to review cases eligible for release. Lawyers are gearing up to fight the proposals, set to be put before the House of Commons next week, arguing that the rules cannot be imposed retrospectively on criminals already sentenced. The urgent legislation was put in motion after the London Bridge attack, which saw released Jihadi prisoner Usman Khan kill two Cambridge graduates in November last year. Javeed was poised to travel to the war-torn state in late 2013 but his family hid his passport in a desperate attempt to thwart his plans. Despite learning his wife was pregnant, the teacher - who taught 11 to 16-year-olds in Bolton - persisted with his plan after helping his younger brother make the trip. But he was arrested hours before he was set to leave the UK. A target of February 27 has been set to rush the Bill through Parliament as police chiefs warned that the threat of terrorism is 'not diminishing'. It is understood Sunderland shopkeeper Mohammed Zahir Khan is due to be released on February 28, while around five other gunnies are expected to be let out in March unless the new law is in force.

| #2 not just terrorists many, many jurisdictions in the USA have let people out of jail early, many never put them in jail NYC, SF, Seattle have laws which basically allow people arrested back on the street without even having to pay bail |
