The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people were released and later recalled to prison under the (a) End of Custody Supervised Licence, (b) Home Detention Curfew , and (c) SDS40 scheme (i) since the scheme was implemented and (ii) in the most recent period for which data is available.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The number of people released under the End of Custody Supervised Licence scheme (ECSL) that have been recalled since the scheme was first implemented forms a subset of data on recalls intended for future publication.
The number of people released under ECSL that have been recalled in the most recent period for which data is available could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
The Home Detention Curfew scheme (HDC) has been in operation since 1999. HDC recall data is available from 2002 onwards. The relevant annual releases tables for 2002-2014 can be found at the tab Table 3_leg_12:
