The length of the rehabilitation period depends on the sentence given. For a custodial (prison) sentence the rehabilitation period
is decided by the original sentence, not the time served. Prison sentences of more than two and a half years can never become
spent and should always be disclosed. Further information on rehabilitation periods can be found at Nacro’s Resettlement Plus
