<p>Instructions issued in 2015 require each prison governor to make available to prisoners
information on the sort of release on temporary licence (ROTL) opportunities available
locally and how prisoners can access them.</p><p>The evidence shows that temporary
release from prison can help ensure offenders do not return to crime when they leave
prison, and compliance rates stand at well over 99%. We want to maintain improvements
made to ROTL recently while allowing governors greater discretion so that prisoners
get the skills and training they need.</p>
