Automatic early release will be ended, but we will do that properly, taking into account all the appropriate factors, and we will do so urgently in relation to sex offenders, where there is a legitimate concern in the community that needs to be addressed.Through the Management of Offenders etc (Scotland) Bill, we will make sure that, because programmes have failed in Scotland in the past, in future programmes are in place to ensure that people do not reoffend and that they have either the skills or the change in attitude that is required to make them more productive, useful and successful members of society after they have seen through their sentence.
