Prisoners' Release: Reoffenders
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 rearrested since September 2024.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
Reoffending rates are published regularly on an annual and quarterly basis. The most recent rates are available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/proven-reoffending-statistics.
Prisoners released on SDS40 will be subject to licence and liable to recall to prison if they do not comply or are judged a risk to public safety.
Data on recall and reoffending of prisoners released since September 2024 forms a subset of data intended for future publication.
