'I'm over the moon to be released from jail early'
The first of up to 390 prisoners are being released early in the latest attempt to ease overcrowding in Scotland's jails.
Emergency legislation was passed last year which allows eligible inmates sentenced to less than four years to be freed after 40% of their term, rather than 50%.
They will be released in three tranches over a six-week period. Prisoners serving sentences for domestic abuse or sexual offences are excluded.
One man told the BBC he was "over the moon" to be released three days early.
