Prisoners

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people are on licence from prisons in England and Wales.
Answer

At 31 December 2005 there were 25,271 people being supervised on licence by the Probation Service following their release from prison.These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so is not necessarily accurate to the last whole number.
