Prisoners' Release: Reoffenders
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what changes have been made to prisoner recalls following the review of Probation Recall Culture and Practice, published in December 2020.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Probation published a report on 10 November 2020 entitled: ‘A thematic review of probation recall culture and practice’. In this report, the Chief Inspector found that the Probation Service was taking proportionate and necessary decisions to recall offenders on licence for public protection.
HMPPS published its Action Plan responding to the thematic review on 7 December 2020, and subsequently updated on its progress the following year.
This contains details on the actions completed and can be found at GOV.UK here: Action_Plan_Update_December_2021_Final.pdf.
