Summary

IMPORTANT NOTE:

On 22 February 2010, the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord

Chancellor announced that the ECL scheme would end on 12 March 2010.

All prisoners who were eligible for release on ECL on or before 12 March

have been released. Prisoners who had, by 22 February, been formally

notified, under form ECL3, of release dates under the scheme up to and

including 9 April, would also be released. No prisoners will be released on

ECL from and including 10 April.

The report to be published at the end of April will include releases for March

and up to and including 9 April, and recalls notified to NOMS by 26 April

  1. This will be the last monthly report. A set of final tables on the scheme

will be published in Offender Management Caseload Statistics in July 2010.

This will include any recall notifications that occurred after 26 April.
