Recycling Offenders Through Prison / Prison Reform Trust, 2005

PDF - http://www.prisonreformtrust.org.uk/pdf%20files/Recalls_Document_AWK4.pdf
"This paper looks at the startling increase over the last five years in the number of adult offenders recalled to custody. It highlights a toughening up in enforcement practices as one of the key factors behind the increase, and raises concerns about the recall process and the conditions for, and treatment of, prisoners who are returned to custody. The new provisions in the Criminal Justice Act are likely to result in a further increase in recalls with the prospect of large numbers of offenders being recycled through the prison system and overall prison numbers continuing to rise."
