Written question asked by Michael Fabricant (Conservative) on Wednesday, 17 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It was answered by Jack Straw (Labour) on Tuesday, 23 March 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
End of Custody Licence Scheme
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what assessment he has made of the effects on the size of the prison population of ending the end of custody licence scheme; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The end of custody licence scheme was withdrawn on 12 March. This is expected to increase the prison population by an additional 1,000 to 1,200 prisoners by the end of April, as those who would have been released serve an additional 18 days in custody. Sufficient headroom exists to accommodate these prisoners within existing capacity.
