answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>HMPPS has been working closely with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure they understand the impact of crimes committed within prison. HMPPS published the revised Crime in Prison Referral Agreement in May 2019. This Agreement sets out how crimes in prison will be referred, investigated and prosecuted and aims to provide a more consistent approach to managing crimes committed within prison. The Crime in Prison Referral Agreement specifies that all assaults against members of staff, unless there is little or no injury should be referred to the police.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to identify the proportion of assaults on prison staff has been charged as an offence in each of the last five years as this information is not held centrally. Detailed information may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 23/10/2019 16:40:21 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

We acknowledge the importance of data collection to illuminate the prevalence and needs of those women prisoners with children, dependent or otherwise, as well as pregnancy, and to inform policy and practice in this area. Where an offender does choose to disclose, data is collected, although this data does not provide detailed information of the child’s age or whether they are dependents. However, the current system of safeguarding should capture children most at risk, including children for whom safe, alternative care arrangements have not yet been put in place.</p><p> </p><p>The government also recognises that the children of offenders can be disadvantaged, and we continue to explore ways in which to improve their lives and to adequately support their needs. We remain committed to ensuring that all children get the help and support they need to live fulfilled and happy lives.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 23/10/2019 16:23:20 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>Data on release on Childcare Resettlement Licence (CRL) is published regularly in the Offender Management Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018</a></p><p> </p><p>Table A3.7 of <em>Prison Releases: 2018</em> shows that there were 32 incidences of release on CRL for men and 322 incidences of release on CRL for women. This is the number of releases rather than the number of individuals released, which is not available by type of release on temporary licence (ROTL).</p><p> </p><p>CRL is a form of ROTL which allows primary carers of children under 18 to be released to help maintain the relationship with their children. As with any ROTL there is a stringent risk assessment and the release must be in the child’s best interests. The higher incidence of release on CRL for women reflects the fact that primary carers of children are more likely to be women.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 23/10/2019 16:53:59 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Data on releases from prison is published regularly in the Offender Management Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018</a></p><p> </p><p>Tables A3.2i and ii of <em>Prison Releases 2018</em> show that the mean average proportion of the sentence served in prison by males released from determinate sentences in 2018 was 65%, the median proportion was 55%. For females the mean average was 50% and the median was 45%. This data includes both standard determinate sentences, for which the automatic release point is 50% of the sentence, and extended determinate sentences (EDS), for which the earliest point of release is two-thirds of the sentence.</p><p> </p><p>There are two key factors which help to explain the difference in time served in custody. Men tend to be convicted of more serious offences attracting longer custodial sentences. This means that women are more likely to be eligible for early release under the home detention curfew (HDC) scheme, which allows release up to 135 days before the halfway point of the sentence and is limited to offenders sentenced to less than four years who pass a risk assessment. The data in these tables also includes time served following recall to prison from licenced supervision. Recalled men tend to be serving longer sentences (12 months or more) and will generally serve longer after recall than recalled women, who tend to be serving less than 12 months.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 22/10/2019 15:19:26 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
