Introduction
This chapter outlines the procedures for pre-parole liaison, which is the second stage in the pre-release process and initiated for offenders who:
- are identified as high risk offenders (HRX)
- meet the offender warning system (OWS) criteria
- Community Probation & Psychological Services (CPPS) has significant concerns about their possible release from prison on parole.
The aims of pre-parole liaison are to:
- formalise cooperation and liaison between the parties who are working with an offender prior to their release from prison on parole
- reduce the risk of losing information that is critical to developing a robust and workable release proposal
- address an offender's needs or put plans in place to ensure that these are addressed appropriately should the offender be released on parole.
