GB News host Ellie Costello has expressed frustration over Labour's plans to continue with the early release of prisoners stating that it could cause a "cycle" of reoffending unless more prisons are built.

Speaking on GB News, Ellie said: "We're looking at these alternatives. We're looking at fines, tough communities, sentences, things like that.

"What about building new prisons? Because there's already warnings out in some of the papers today that if more and more people are not released we're going to be back to the same situation that we saw in summer by next year. I mean, this is just a cycle that we're in unless more prisons are built."
