7 Pre-release reports

(Tables 1 and 4)

7.1 Part of statutory throughcare involves providing reports to inform temporary release from prison on home leave to facilitate re-integration into the community, and to inform the process of liberation on parole/non-parole licence. In 2013-14, 1,600 home leave reports[3] were produced, higher than in 2012-13 but still over a fifth less than the level of 2,100 in 2010-11. A total of 1,600 home circumstance reports for release from prison on parole/non-parole licence were recorded in 2013-14. This number has remained around 1,500-1,600 since 2008-09 (Table 1).

7.2 From 2006, those serving a custodial sentence may also be released early under a home detention curfew scheme. During 2013-14, there were 2,900 home detention curfew assessments, 8 per cent lower than in 2012-13 (Table 4).
