3 Probation/parole supervision

  Fig. 3-4-2-4 shows the number of elderly persons newly placed under probation/parole supervision over the last 10 years.
  The number has been increasing both among parolees and probationers, but the number of elderly probationers did decrease slightly from the previous year (down 14.6%) to 181 in 2008.
  The parole rate of elderly persons remained at 28-38% over the last 10 years and was lower than that of total released inmates (50-57%). This is probably due to the fact that in many cases elderly persons could not secure a residence after release because they had no guarantors, etc.
