Early discharge?

I read many cases of early discharge online at around the 7-8 month stage. Since browsing and using the MSE site I have not come across one person who was discharged a single day, let alone months before the year mark.

Has anyone, or does anyone know of an early discharge?

  • I was discharged after 7/8 months but that was back in 2007 and I believe it is much less common nowadays.

    Not just stopped, but the part of the law that allowed early discharge was repealed by parliament. So the OR could not do it now even if they wanted to.
