This document, prepared by the British Government for the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures, addresses the issue of prisoner releases in Northern Ireland in the context of the peace process. It outlines the government's willingness to discuss concerns and potential changes related to prisoner releases. The document discusses proposals made by various parties regarding early release criteria, life sentence review procedures, remission rates, special treatment for certain offenders, and supervision conditions for released prisoners. Statistical information on the prison population, main offences, paramilitary affiliation, sentence lengths, remaining periods to serve, and re-offending rates is provided for prisoners in Northern Ireland. The document raises complex issues related to the eligibility for early release, treatment of life sentence prisoners, remission rates, special treatment criteria, and supervision conditions for released prisoners.
