Prison Sentences

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners serving sentences for imprisonment for public protection whose tariffs had expired were refused parole in each of the last five years.

Answer

The information requested is available on gov.uk.

Public protection remains our key priority; however, the recent HMIP report rightly highlights concerns around the management of IPP prisoners.

We have set up a new unit within the Ministry of Justice to improve progression for all IPP prisoners and are working with the Parole Board to improve the efficiency of the parole process.
