Conditional Release and Performance – Day Parole

Official Title: Performance Monitoring Report 2020-2021, Conditional Release and Performance – Day Parole
From: Parole Board of Canada

Day Parole

Tables 56-81

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 fiscal 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 2020-21, the Board rendered more federal day parole release decisions compared to the previous fiscal year (5,299; +4%). This included 25 day parole release decisions following an APR and 10 day parole by exception release decisions.
• When compared to the previous fiscal year, the number of federal day parole release decisions rendered in 2020-21 increased in the Ontario (+15%), Prairie (+7%) and Pacific (+5%) regions and decreased in the Atlantic (-11%) and Quebec (-3%) regions.
• The number of provincial day parole release decisions rendered by the Board in 2020-21 decreased (to 261; -19%) when compared to the previous fiscal year.
• In 2020-21, the number of federal and provincial day parole release decisions rendered following an EAH decreased (to 47; -90%) compared to 2019-20. This is a direct result of health and safety measures put in place to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
• In 2020-21, the average proportion of sentences served before the first federal day parole release for offenders serving determinate sentences increased one percentage point to 37% compared to the previous fiscal year. The proportion increased one percentage point in the Quebec (to 36%), Ontario (to 38%) and Pacific (to 39%) regions, decreased one percentage point in the Prairie (to 36%) region and remained the same in the Atlantic (33%) region.
• Over the last five years, the average proportion of sentences served before the first federal day parole release for offenders serving sentences for violent offences was 39% while the proportion for offenders serving sentences for non-violent offences was 34%.  
• Over the last five years, Indigenous offenders had the highest proportion of their sentence served before their first federal day parole release (40%) while Asian offenders had the lowest (33%).
• Over the last five years, men offenders had a higher proportion of their sentence served before their first federal day parole release than women offenders
  (37% v. 32%).

Figure 22. Day Parole Grant Rates

• The federal regular day parole grant rate decreased nine percentage points to 71% in 2020-21 compared to 2019-20 while the federal APR day parole grant rate remained the same (100%) as the previous fiscal year.
• The provincial day parole grant rate increased five percentage points to 58% in 2020-21 compared to 2019-20.
• The federal day parole grant rate decreased in all regions in 2020-21 compared to the previous fiscal year: Atlantic (76%; -8 percentage points), Quebec (65%: -12 percentage points), Ontario (75%; -9 percentage points), Prairie (70%; -8 percentage points) and Pacific (75%; -4 percentage points).
• In 2020-21, offenders serving sentences for non-violent offences reported a higher federal day parole grant rate (79%) compared to offenders serving sentences for violent offences (68%).
• Offenders serving sentences for non-violent offences reported a higher provincial day parole grant rate (64%) in 2020-21 than offenders serving sentences for violent offences (52%).
• In 2020-21, offenders in the category Other ethno-cultural group reported the highest federal day parole grant rate (77%) while Indigenous offenders and Black offenders reported the lowest (67%).
• The provincial day parole grant rate was the highest for Asian offenders (78%) and the lowest for Black offenders (20%). 
• Women offenders had a much higher grant rate of federal day parole in 2020-21 than men offenders (88% vs. 70%).
• The provincial day parole grant rate was also much higher for women offenders than men offenders (81% vs. 56%) in 2020-21.
• In 2020-21, federal offenders serving determinate sentences accounted for 78% of all day parole grants (with a grant rate of 73%), while lifers accounted for 20% of day parole grants (with a grant rate of 84%), and offenders with other indeterminate sentences accounted for 1% of grants (with a grant rate of 17%).
• While the federal day parole grant rate for lifers was 84% in 2020-21, it should be noted that 73% of those decisions were decisions to continue day parole. The day parole grant rate for lifers who were granted day parole releases directly from institutions was 59%.
• In 2020-21, the federal day parole grant rate following an EAH decreased 15 percentage points to 57% compared to the previous fiscal year.

It should be noted that APR numbers have been diminishing since 2010-11 when the APR-related provisions were rescinded.
• In 2020-21, offenders serving sentences for non-violent offences had a higher successful completion rate (93.3%) of federal day parole compared to offenders serving sentences for violent offences (92.1%).
