This Better Outcomes document provides information and best practice principles based on available evidence for the management and support of people who have been recalled to prison. The aim is to improve outcomes in the following areas:
- a more positive, rehabilitative experience of the post-recall process for prisoners enabling progression to a successful re-release and resettlement
- a timely and systematic approach to the review and management of recall prisoner cases
- the timely and appropriate re-release of recalled prisoners with an increased use of the Secretary of State’s Executive release power
