All offenders recalled to custody will have breached one or more of the conditions of their licence (including those on life licence and the home detention curfew scheme). We do not hold a comprehensive breakdown of reasons for recall prior to April 2007. The number of offenders recalled in each of the last 12 months together with the number recalled following a charge for a further offence since April 2007 is provided in the following table.
