<p>The number of 28 day fixed term recalls to prison in England and Wales for the
period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 was <strong>4,665, </strong>this equates
to <strong>19</strong>% of the total number of recalls for the period which was <strong>24,268</strong>.</p><p>Public
protection is our priority. Offenders on licence are subject to strict licence conditions
and supervision.</p><p>Where offenders are eligible for a fixed-term recall, they
may be recalled to prison on a fixed-term basis, where that is a necessary and proportionate
response to a breach of licence conditions. If not, they will receive a standard recall,
which is the only type of recall available for those offenders ineligible for a fixed-term
recall (such as those on a life licence). Where they receive a standard recall, they
are liable to serve the rest of their sentence in prison, unless the Parole Board
or the Secretary of State executively re-releases them.</p><p>The decision to recall
is taken on the professional advice of senior probation staff.</p>
