star this property answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>For offenders the period of post-release supervision on licence forms an integral part of a sentence imposed by the court. The overriding priority is to protect the public from harm and prevent re-offending.</p><p> </p><p>The recall of offenders on licence is designed to protect the public by removing an offender from the community who, by breaching his licence conditions, is considered to present an increased risk of re-offending and where the Probation Service recommends that this is the most effective response to the increased risk, in order to protect the public.</p><p> </p><p>Behaviour that can result in recall includes: the commission of further offences or charges being laid; behaviour which indicates that further offending is imminent; or breaches of licence conditions which undermine the Probation Service's ability to provide effective supervision, such as not living at the address stipulated on the licence or failing to attend probation appointments.</p><p> </p><p>Once recalled, it is the responsibility of the police to apprehend offenders, although all agencies closely co-operate to ensure that they are swiftly returned to custody.</p><p> </p><p>Data on those offenders who had committed minor breaches of licence, were warned, and not recalled to prison are not collected centrally. Those offenders whose breach of licence has resulted in a recall to prison are published quarterly in the Ministry of Justice's Offender Management Statistics Quarterly Bulletin. This may be found at the following web address:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly</a></p><p> </p><p>The most recent bulletin was published on 30 January 2014, covering all offenders who were recalled to custody since 1 January 1984 and who remained unlawfully at large as at 31 December 2013. Therefore, the total number who remained unlawfully at large as at 31 December 2013 includes some offenders who were recalled before 2001/02.</p><p> </p><p>In over 99 per cent of cases where an offender has been recalled, the individual has successfully been returned to custody. Where an offender has died we are unable to remove them from the list until we receive a death certificate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The data covering the years since 2001/02 are shown in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial year</p></td><td><p>Number of recalls</p></td><td><p>Prisoners who remain unlawfully at large</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2001/02</p></td><td><p>5,086</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2002/03</p></td><td><p>8,406</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2003/04</p></td><td><p>11,268</p></td><td><p>55</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004/05</p></td><td><p>11,171</p></td><td><p>30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005/06</p></td><td><p>11,450</p></td><td><p>73</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006/07</p></td><td><p>13,411</p></td><td><p>60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007/08</p></td><td><p>13,252</p></td><td><p>65</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008/09</p></td><td><p>13,467</p></td><td><p>76</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>15,004</p></td><td><p>89</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>15,631</p></td><td><p>79</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>16,591</p></td><td><p>118</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>16,307</p></td><td><p>127</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr-September 2013</p></td><td><p>8,847</p></td><td><p>146</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Data on the number of releases on temporary release licence (ROTL) since 1995-6, and temporary release failures since 2004-5 are published in the NOMS Prison Performance Digest.

Those that are not recorded centrally are more likely to be low-level failures including, for example, returning with unauthorised possessions. These failures are managed locally. Where failures are recorded, the central administrative system only allows for one reason to be recorded; where it is a failure to return this takes priority.</p><p> </p><p>The number of prisoners unlawfully at large (UAL) having failed to return from release on temporary licence for each financial year since 2004/05 is shown in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial year</p></td><td><p>Number of prisoners who remain UAL following failure to return from ROTL</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004/05</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005/06</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006/07</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007/08</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008/09</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>To provide the number of temporary release failures where the prisoner has failed to return and remains unlawfully at large prior to this date would require the manual interrogation of 1,000 temporary release records which could be done only at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>These figures have all been drawn from live administrative data systems which may be amended at any time.
