<p>For the period 1 January 2019 to 31 March 2019 there were 2522 fixed term recalls
(41%) and 3646 standard recalls (59%).</p><p> </p><p>Where offenders are eligible
for a fixed-term recall, their probation officer may decide that a fixed-term recall
is the proportionate and necessary response to a breach of licence conditions. If
not, they will be recalled to prison on a standard recall, which is the only type
of recall available as a response for offenders ineligible for a fixed-term recall.
Where offenders are recalled on a standard recall, they are liable to serve the rest
of their sentence in prison.</p><p>The decision to recall is taken on the professional
advice of senior probation staff.</p>
