Conditional Release and Performance – Day Parole
Official Title: Performance Monitoring Report 2018-2019, Conditional Release and Performance – Day Parole
From: Parole Board of Canada
Day Parole
Day parole is a type of conditional release which allows offenders to participate in community‑based activities in preparation for full parole or statutory release. Offenders released on day parole return to an institution or a community-based residential facility each night or at another specified interval authorized by the Board.
In this section, the number of day parole grants includes not only those for whom day parole has been directed or granted, but those for whom day parole has been continued. A day parole is continued to allow the offender additional time to further prepare for full parole. It should be noted that the Board must conduct an assessment of risk before each day parole grant/directed decision, as well as each day parole continued decision.
The day parole population changed significantly when Bill C-55, which came into force on July 3, 1997, reinstated automatic day parole review and day parole eligibility at one-sixth of the sentence for offenders who, according to the law, were entitled to be considered for accelerated parole review.
On March 28, 2011, Bill C-59 abolished the APR process, which resulted in fewer day and full parole reviews in 2011-12, for first-time federal non-violent offenders (those serving sentences for schedule II and non-scheduled offences), who in the previous years would have been eligible for an APR review. The number of reviews for these types of offenders rebounded in the following years.
Due to court challenges, the abolition of APR had a smaller effect in the Pacific and Quebec regions in 2012-13 and 2013-14. Since 2012, the Pacific region has been processing active APR cases for offenders sentenced or convicted prior to the abolition of APR. In 2013-14, the Quebec region started processing their active APR cases.
On March 20, 2014, following the Canada (Attorney General) v. Whaling decision, the accelerated parole review process was reinstated across all regions for offenders sentenced prior to the abolition of APR. In some provinces, however, due to court challenges in their respective jurisdictions, APR was also reinstated for offenders who committed at least one of their offences prior to the abolition of APR and were sentenced after the legislation came into force (Quebec in 2016, Ontario in 2015, Manitoba in 2015, Alberta in 2015, British Columbia in 2014). On December 8, 2016, the Court of Appeal for Ontario held that APR would be reinstated for offenders who committed a continuous offence (an offence that started before the coming into force of Bill C-59 on March 28, 2011 but also continued after this date).
- In 2018-19, the Board rendered more federal day parole release decisions compared to the previous year (5,347; +2%). This included 58 day parole release decisions following an APR and one day parole release decision by exception.
- The number of federal day parole release decisions rendered in 2018-19 increased in the Atlantic (+8%), Ontario (+4%) and Prairie (+9%) regions and decreased in the Quebec (-2%) and Pacific (-9%) regions when compared to the previous year.
- The number of provincial day parole release decisions rendered by the Board in 2018-19 decreased (to 398; -11%) when compared to the previous year.
- In 2018-19, the number of federal and provincial day parole release decisions rendered following an EAH increased 6% (to 461) compared to 2017-18.
- In 2018-19, the average proportion of sentence served before the first federal day parole release for offenders serving determinate sentences remained constant (at 37%) compared to the previous year. The proportion increased in the Quebec (+2%), Prairie and Pacific (+1% each) regions and decreased the Atlantic (-1%) region while it remained constant in the Ontario (at 38%) region.
- Over the last five years, Indigenous offenders had a highest proportion of their sentence served before their first federal day parole release (42%) than non-Indigenous offenders (36%).
- Over the last five years, male offenders had a highest proportion of their sentence served before their first federal day parole release (38%) than female offenders (34%).
