<p>Public protection is our priority. Offenders released early on ECSL are subject
to a standard supervision licence which is designed to enable the Probation Service
to manage the risk that offenders may pose on release from prison and to safeguard
public protection. The recall process is the same for those released on ECSL and other
standard releases.</p><p> </p><p>The decision to recall an offender on licensed supervision
is taken on the professional advice of senior probation staff following consideration
of safe alternatives to recall. Where offenders are recalled, it is because they present
a risk of serious harm to the public and the controls available are no longer sufficient
to keep the public safe. These individuals will remain in prison for only as long
as necessary to protect the public. Guidance on the recall of offenders to prison
is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recall-review-and-re-release-of-recalled-prisoners."
