answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2016 answer text <p>The tariff period is the minimum amount of time that prisoners serving indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) must serve for the purposes of punishment and deterrence. Release is then a matter for the Independent Parole Board. The Parole Board will recommend release only once they are satisfied that prisoners’ risks have been reduced to a level that can be safely managed in the community.</p><p> </p><p>For those IPP prisoners who are beyond their tariff date the average period served post-tariff, rounded to the nearest year, is 4 years. This figure excludes IPP prisoners who have been released and subsequently recalled to custody.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 09/06/2016 12:13:39 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
