A DANGEROUS lag was able to roam without a GPS tag for more than 50 days after being released from jail early.

The unnamed prisoner was set free in September as part of the scheme to ease prison overcrowding.

More than 1,000 offenders — including violent criminals — were let out months early in the move by Labour.

Many were freed on licence, meaning they had to wear an ankle tag so their movements could be monitored to check they were obeying a curfew or other restrictions.
