Prisoners' Release
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average time was that prisoners released from recall spent on recall in each year for which data are available.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The requested information for indeterminate prisoners re-released following recall can be found in Table 5_Q_11 of the Department’s Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication: licence-recalls-Oct-to-Dec-2024.ods.
The corresponding information for determinate sentenced prisoners is only obtainable at disproportionate cost as it requires data matching between different data systems (namely prison recall information from the Public Protection Unit Database, and prisoner release information from prison-NOMIS).
