Prison chiefs called in for crisis meeting

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.
