answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2024 answer text <p>This policy created a presumption that all offenders due for release on a Friday or the day before a bank/public holiday will be eligible for release up to two working days earlier unless exceptional circumstances apply.</p><p>It addresses the practical challenges posed by Friday releases in order for offenders to turn their back on crime. Releasing offenders earlier in the week will help them to access the key services that they need, such as drugs rehabilitation and mental health support. This better enables stable and law-abiding resettlement, reducing their risk of reoffending and ensuring public protection is maintained.</p><p>For the adult estate, data covering prisoner releases in December under this policy forms a subset of data planned for release in the regular Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication, and therefore the Department is not able to provide the requested information at this time.</p><p>The Youth Custody Service holds this data for the Children and Young People Secure Estate which shows fewer than 5 children or young people were due for release between 22nd and 26th December. Data suppression rules (in this case numbers of individuals fewer than 5) in place to protect the anonymity of individuals prevent disclosure of the exact figure and offence type. However, all those children or young people due for release within the period were released in accordance with policy on December 20.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 18/01/2024 16:25:07 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
