Recommendation 21
21
Release on Temporary Licence remains underutilised despite its proven effectiveness.
Conclusion
Release on temporary licence (ROTL) is a proven and effective tool for rehabilitation, helping prisoners maintain family ties, gain employment, and reintegrate into the community. Despite its strong track record, with a 99.8 per cent compliance rate, it remains inconsistently applied and underutilised. (Conclusion, Paragraph 95)
