Eligble For Tagging
Further to my post here http://
My sons mate received a 15 month prison sentence for affray. Its the first time hes been in prison and a first 'serious' offence. Hes just rang my son from jail and said that he has been refused a tag. Can he appeal this decision and if so how?
He was convicted of affray and no one was hurt during it,(just a threat) while I myself was once convicted of assault and still managed to get early release on tag. (despite having previous sentences for affray and ABH). It all seems a bit bonkers to me!
Thanks.

“…he only went in a couple of weeks ago, is it normal to get released on tag that quickly?”
When prisoners sentenced to determinate sentences (i.e. x years or y months, not “Life”) arrive at their first prison, Prudie, they are given their release date within a couple of days of arrival. All prisoners are released at the halfway stage. HDC is available to most of those sentenced to between three months and four years. It provides for release under home curfew, monitored by electronic tag, between 15 and 90 days before the half way point is reached. When the prison authorities calculate the release date the allowance made under HDC is incorporated into that calculation. Hence the prisoner knows very soon after arrival of his release date, including the time he will be released early under tag.
