Perhaps nobody can be bothered to work the actual figures out.
They said that those responsible for domestic violence wouldnt qualify.
Their early release is obviously a worry to those they have abused.
One of the articles referred to the early release of someone charged with assault.
This was even though the assault included breaking their partners jaw.
Revealed: The prisoners who could be free men today under Labour's early prison release - amid fears of spiralling gang violence, homelessness and agony for domestic abuse victims
Among the 1,700 set to walk free on Tuesday is Connar Shaw (pictured), who was sentenced to 32 months behinds bars after breaking his partner's jaw, strangling her, and threatening to throw acid in her face
Shane Riley, who said he 'enjoyed' attacking his partner after she broke off their relationship will also be free after serving barely nine months of his sentence
Jordan Green, who was put behind bars after he pleaded guilty to robbery and dangerous driving in March, will also be released under the new scheme
Among those set to walk free are Connar Shaw, from Rotherham, who will only serve 13 months of his 32-month prison sentence after strangling his partner and threatening to throw acid in her face during years of abuse.
It comes despite his victim saying in court how she would be scared when he is released as 'there will be repercussions and that he will want to get his revenge on me for being in prison'.
She added: 'Connar is a psycho and he frightens me – I'm afraid that one day he will end up killing me.'
Shane Riley, from Swansea, will be released after serving less than nine months for punching, kicking and headbutting his ex partner after she broke up with him on June 8, 2020.
Riley, who said he was 'enjoying' the abuse, was sentenced to 23 months for causing actual bodily harm, common assault, making threats to kill, and criminal damage. He will serve less than nine months.
Another offender who will taste freedom will be Jordan Green, who was put behind bars after he pleaded guilty to robbery and dangerous driving in March.
He was jailed for 27 months after an incident saw him approach a woman's window in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees and screech: 'Get out of the f***ing car.'
He proceeded to hurl her mobile phone out of his window as he sped off, which allowed her to take an image of the criminal.
Green, who was previously handed a prison sentence after he attacked his own mother, will only spend four months in jail.
Others set to be freed include drug dealer Patrick Scotland, of west London, who was jailed for ten years in 2020 after police found £2.2million of MDMA and crystal meth in his flat.

Remanding in custody, and dealing with the rioters quickly had the desired effect.
Some of those convicted of offences on social media deserved a bit of porridge.
At the end of the day whether someone serves 40 or 50% of their sentence, in terms of time served, probably makes little difference.
I am sure that many people think that sentences should be tougher, and those convicted should serve a higher percentage of their sentence.
A man allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on the same day he was released from prison under the government's early release scheme.
He allegedly reoffended in Sittingbourne in Kent and was later arrested at an address in south London.
He was among more than 1,700 inmates released from prison last week in a bid to ease prison overcrowding, which the government said did not include terrorists and previously convicted sex offenders.
The former inmate appeared at a magistrate's court on Thursday charged with sexual assault. He is due to appear at crown court next month.
He has been recalled to prison.
