Recall of Women to Prisons

Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 February 2019. It occurred during Debate on Recall of Women to Prisons.

I wanted to attend this debate, Mr Hollobone, but I had to be in the Chamber for a statutory instrument and could not be in two places at one time—although, I do try to do that sometimes. Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that the Prison Service must answer the question as to why the use of recall of women continues to increase when they are far less likely to commit serious offences? Why is the trend not slowing down as it did for men? That poses a question for the Minister, who must consider how the resettling process is carried out. Can it be improved and regulated better? Clearly it can.
