Recommendation 14

14 Accepted Paragraph: 128

Recall of IPP sentenced individuals presents growing problem for resettlement and reintegration

Recommendation
As set out earlier in this Report, the recall of IPP sentenced individuals is a growing problem. IPP prisoners face particular challenges with resettlement, and careful consideration must therefore be given as to how they are prepared for their release and subsequently supported in the community. We agree with the Prison Reform Trust that efforts to successfully reintegrate IPP prison leavers into society must match those efforts being made to help them to achieve release.
Government response summary AI-generated

They detail programs like the Prisoner Education Service, Banking and ID Administrators, Community Accommodation Service Tier 3, and the use of Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) to support reintegration.
