Part of the issue, however, is that even if we are standing still as prison numbers increase, there will be greater pressure on the probation officer teams who are there. I was looking at numbers going back six or seven years, but while the figure has not decreased in the past few years, that has to be looked at in the context of an increasing prison population.
