Prisoners' Release
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many recalls to custody initiated by the probation service in 2024 were for people serving a (1) standard determinate sentence, (2) extended determinate sentence, (3) mandatory life sentence, (4) discretionary life sentence, (5) automatic life sentence (imposed on or before 4 April 2005), and (6) automatic life sentence (imposed after 4 April 2005).
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice routinely publishes data in Offender Management Statistics Quarterly (OMSQ) on the prison population.
The information needed to provide a comprehensive answer to these questions could be provided only at disproportionate cost as central records are not kept in a way that they can be filtered by the required fields to obtain the information.
