Answer
Centrally collated prison releases data only allows for "average proportion of sentence" to be readily estimated for those released from determinate sentences and this calculation may also include time spent in the community on bail. Therefore, to provide an accurate response would incur disproportionate cost to the department.
With regards to the number of prison leavers, the requested information has been provided as an Excel file alongside this response.
