    Gang member freed early by Labour brags of ‘raising the crime rate’ in new rap

    Isaac Donkoh, aka Young Dizz, released the new rap on Christmas day celebrating his early release from prison. The gang member freed from jail early by Labour has boasted of ‘raising the crime rate’ since his release in a new rap. However, that is part of the lyrics of the song, similar to what rappers like Drake and Snoop Dogg ‘spit’ in their songs.

    Gang member freed early by Labour brags of ‘raising the crime rate’ in new rap

    Drill rapper Isaac Donkoh, also known as Young Dizz, was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison in 2019 for kidnapping and torturing a 16-year-old boy.

    Having served more than half his sentence he was set to be released on November 4 this year, but was freed two weeks early under Labour’s early release scheme.

    In a rap released on Christmas day called ‘Plugged In’, Donkoh boasted: ‘Now that I’m back, I’m raising the crime rate. Keir Starmer let me out now he wants me back, got me scratching my head like make up your mind, mate.’

    Almost 3,000 prisoners were released on licence in two batches in September and October after serving 40% if their prison sentence, as part of the new scheme.

    The initiative was introduced by the new Labour government to ‘avert disaster’ amid overcrowding in UK jails.

    During Donkoh’s trial, the court heard how Donkoh went to meet his schoolboy victim in Barking, east London, with four other youths on August 2, 2018.

    After being punched and bundled into the dark blue Ford Mondeo, the boy was threatened with a machete and had two plastic bags put over his head.

    later told the court that at this point ‘I thought they were probably gonna kill me’.

    The victim was driven to the home of one of Donkoh’s young accomplices, where he was held for around two hours and subjected to a violent and humiliating ordeal.

    He was forced to strip naked as Donkoh filmed him on his iPhone and threatened to ‘cut him up’.

    The victim was whacked over his face, back, legs and arms with a metal pole and some of his hair was chopped off with scissors.

    The boy was forced to call his parents and beg for £1,500 to secure his release.

    Prison early release scheme details

    The prison early release scheme excludes those sentenced to more than four years for violent offences, but Donkoh was eligible because his GBH sentence was only three years.

    His other sentences were eight and nine-year terms for false imprisonment and kidnap and six months for perverting the course of justice.

    Within hours of being released, Donkoh – then 28 – posted a selfie on X posing in a £140,000 ‘Armoured Edition’ Land Rover with the caption: ‘Came home to an armoured truck, you can never be too careful’.

    Prisons minister James Timpson said the new scheme was crucial to prevent ‘total breakdown of law and order’ in the country’s prisons, with the system ‘teetering on the edge of disaster’ after being ‘run at 99 percent capacity for months’.

    Although many prisoners celebrated their early release, some said they were not sufficiently prepared, while local communities expressed fear of rising crime.
