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.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The Ministry of Justice does not hold any data on arrests or rearrests as that is held by Home Office.
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 are subject to licence and liable to recall to prison if they do not comply or are judged a risk to public safety.
