Jeremy Bamber
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on what (a) public interest grounds and (b) risk assessment evidence Jeremy Bamber has remained a category A prisoner for 36 years.
- Answer
-
HMPPS has an obligation to protect the public by preventing escape of the most dangerous offenders. All category A prisoners must be held within a high security prison.
Offenders are required to undertake work to address their risk reduction; only when this work has been sufficiently completed, and the risk of harm to the public is significantly reduced, can a prisoner have his security category reduced.
All category A prisoners are subject to regular reviews of their status.
Mr Bamber was convicted of five counts of Murder and sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on the 28 June 1986 with a whole life tariff imposed.
