Chatbots 'could be used to help stop errors in prison releases'
The Guardian
|November 11, 2025
AI chatbots could be used to stop prisoners being mistakenly released from jail, a justice minister told the House of Lords yesterday.
Lord Timpson said HMP Wandsworth had been given the go-ahead to use artificial intelligence after a specialised team was sent in to find “some quick fixes”.
A double manhunt was launched last week after the incorrect releases of a sex offender and a fraudster from the prison in southwest London.
Release errors over the past fortnight have been seized on by opposition MPs as evidence of the helplessness of ministers in the face of chaos within the criminal justice.
David Lammy, the justice secretary, is expected to address parliament about the number of missing prisoners when MPs return today.

I'd rather Van Dijk's goal had stood - but it was not a clear and obvious error to deny him
There was one big incident that grabbed the headlines and prompted conversation this weekend in the Premier League: the decision by the referee Chris Kavanagh to deny Liverpool an equalising goal in their high-stakes match against Manchester City. The decision is massively subjective, in my opinion, but not a clear and obvious error.
