The breaches relate to prisoners released early as ministers attempt to ease pressure on an overcrowded prison system.
Concerns have been raised over the release of violent and sexual offenders convicted of violence against women and girls, including stalking and domestic abuse. Justice secretary Alex Norris admitted he was unable to say how many prisoners freed early have been tagged.
