This article explores the recent enormous increase in the number of prisoners recalled each year to prison in England and Wales: prisoners who had previously been released, either automatically or on the direction of the Parole Board. It explores law and practice, focusing in the analysis on pre-release processes, the process of recall and on the prisoner's journey towards re-release. Having considered the role of the Parole Board and of the executive more generally, the paper concludes that there should be a review of whether ‘sentence review courts’ would work better to encourage offenders to earn their way out of prison and off supervision.read more

Using vignette methodology to research the process of breach comparatively
TL;DR: In this article, a vignette methodology was developed to explore the decision-making aspect of the breach process from a comparative perspective across a number of different European jurisdictions, and the vignettes were designed to explore two different types of breach processes: the process of breach that follows on from a breach of conditions of early release from prison and the process that follows a breach attached to the completion of an unpaid work order.

The revolving door at the prison gate: Exploring the dramatic increase in recalls to prison
Nicola Padfield,Shadd Maruna +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw attention to the recent and extraordinary increase in the number of people in England and Wales recalled to prison during the licence period of their sentence by examining the published Parole Board and prison statistics, and suggest that current sentencing law and practice puts inappropriate emphasis on "front door" sentencing practices rather than the equally important "back door" practices of release, supervision and recall.
