The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners released under Standard Determinate Sentence 40 legislation have been recalled to prison.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

Recall remains, as intended, a tool Probation can use to protect the public.

Data on SDS40 recalls forms a subset of data intended for future publication, but our initial operational insights suggest there has not been a significant change to the use and application of recall since implementation of the SDS change.
