Do Prisoners In England Get Released From Prison If

[ladybirder]

their release date falls on a Sunday? Anybody know? Thanks.

I guess they'd be released on Friday if their date fell on the weekend.

Sandy, thank you for your answer but I need to know for sure. I googled it but that didn't help. Hoping Nailitt might know this but he doesn't appear to be about at the moment.

A bit vague but seems you can be.

Yes you can. Your release date is your release date. Depending on your state and whether prison or jail some inmates are required to report to their parole agents same day of release. Most parole offices are closed on weekends so the inmate will be held until Monday.19 May 2019

That sounds as if it might relate to US, tony

State Tony? Is that from an American site? Do you have a link please?
Thanks.

Release time
On the day of your release, you will most likely leave prison before 8.45am.
If your release date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, you will leave on the Friday
before.
If your release date falls on a Bank Holiday, you will leave on the last working day
before the Bank Holiday. This will usually be a Friday.
If you are getting out on parole and your release date falls on a weekend then you
will get out on a Monday. If it falls on a Bank Holiday, you will usually get out after
the Bank Holiday. This will usually be a Tuesday.
