  • Ten to fifteen years after sentence completion (for sentences completed between 2004-05 and 2008-09), 27% of federal offenders had returned on a federal sentence as of March 31, 2019.
  • Over the long-term (for sentences completed between 2004-05 and 2008-09), offenders released at warrant expiry were four times more likely to be readmitted on a new federal sentence than offenders who completed their sentences on full parole. Offenders released on statutory release were only slightly less likely to be readmitted on a federal sentence after their sentence completion than offenders released at warrant expiry.
  • When looking at the readmission rate for a violent offence (for sentences completed between 2004-05 and 2008-09), offenders released at warrant expiry were 14 times more likely to return to a federal institution because of a new violent offence than offenders who completed their sentences on full parole, and one and a half times more likely than offenders who completed their sentences on statutory release.
