The number of people who have completed their prison sentence is decreasing. The number of those who have been released from prison is increasing.

The Ministry of Justice has set up a panel to review the system. The panel is expected to make a decision by the end of the year on whether or not to change the system to make it more efficient. The current system has been in place for more than 20 years, but it is in need of a revamp. The new system will make it easier for people to get out of prison if they are released.
