Prisoners' Release: Electronic Tagging
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prisoners released under the early release scheme have been electronically tagged.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
Data on SDS40 releases forms a subset of data intended for future publication. We do not yet hold centrally collated data on how many prisoners released under SDS40 have been electronically tagged.
Electronic Monitoring is only one part of a range of stringent license conditions used to manage offenders in the community and all offenders, including those released under SDS40, continue to be monitored closely by the Probation Service.
