Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prisoners released between October 2023 and June 2024 under the End of Custody Supervised License scheme were subsequently recalled to prison.
This question was answered on 25th July 2024
We are constantly monitoring the use of End of Custody Supervised Licence (ECSL) and its impact.
ECSL was implemented in October 2023. Since its operation, the number of ECSL releases between 17 October 2023 and 30 June 2024 was 10,083.
The information requested could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost, because it would require the linkage and reconciliation of multiple administrative datasets.
