Examples of how this may work in practice are set out below: • Prisoner A is due to be released on a Friday – their release date is automatically moved to the preceding Thursday (release date brought forward by 1 day) • Prisoner B is due to be released on a Saturday – their release date is automatically moved to the preceding Thursday (release date brought forward by 2 days) • Prisoner C is due to be released on a Sunday – their release date is automatically moved to the preceding Thursday (release date brought forward by 3 days) • Prisoner D is due to be released on a Monday which is a public holiday.
