Prison chiefs called in for crisis meeting
The Sentinel
|November 07, 2025
A PRISONER released by mistake earlier this week has handed himself in as the hunt continues for a migrant sex offender also let free in error.
-
Billy Smith, 35, handed himself back three days later after he was released from HMP Wandsworth.
Police are continuing their efforts to track down Algerian national Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, 24, mistakenly released from the same prison on October 29.
It came as Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones said prison chiefs were summoned for a meeting yesterday and a team of digital experts had been tasked with overhauling the “archaic” paper-based system of prisoner records.
