Almost 100 prisoners were mistakenly freed from jail in six months, new figures show.
A total of 91 inmates were wrongly released between April 1 and October 31, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Justice.
It comes as Justice Secretary David Lammy is set to face questions from MPs today over the issue after an Algerian sex offender and a fraudster from HMP Wandsworth were accidentally freed earlier this month, sparking a double manhunt.
The two mistaken releases followed the high-profile jail blunder of Hadush Kebatu, the now-deported migrant at the heart of protests in Epping, Essex.
