<p>Information on releases in error are published as part of the HM Prison and Probation
Service Annual Digest. The latest publication can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-hm-prison-and-probation-service-digest-2017-to-2018"

</p><p>Releases in error are rare and in the vast majority of cases offenders are
returned to custody very quickly. We work closely with the police to recapture those
at large and investigate each incident thoroughly to see what lessons can be learned.</p>
