They weren’t suggesting just releasing women as that would be an issue.
Of course, if you are releasing people for offences were drink, drugs or mental health may have contributed, then you need a better support mechanism or they’ll boomerang straight back inside. Another reason a holistic approach is needed. It’s why cutting the money going to social work, mental health services, etc, etc is not a saving.
It’s not just that kind of support. Just releasing people isn’t good either. For one thing, they need places to live, and help finding work, etc.
I hope this is going to happen along side a bunch of resources going to the services which support people after release. Otherwise this is going to go very wrong as you suggest.
