"Generally 70% of recalls are for non compliance...that can be missing appointments, your probation officer not knowing where you are...we've had people who have been in hospital and been recalled" - Donna Mooney of @UNGRIPP on the issue of recall.

[Ex-Prison Officer @Prison_Screw]

We spend about £50k a year to lock up each prisoner then give them £50 to get lost on release. Then we get confused why they quickly return to prison.
