Amari Lindon Ward, a 31-year-old man, was released on Tuesday, September 10th. He was let out early because jails in England and Wales were too full. The government let some prisoners go free a bit earlier than planned. This is called an “early release scheme.”
But just hours after leaving prison, Ward allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at a train station in Sittingbourne, Kent. The police arrested him in London. Now, he has to go to court. Ward was charged with sexual assault. He appeared in front of a judge in a magistrate court. The judge said he must go to a crown court next month. Until then, he has been recalled to prison. This means he has to go back to jail.
