In 2018, the mean average proportion of the sentence served in prison by males released from determinate sentences (excluding extended determinate sentences) was 64%, the median proportion was 56%. For females the mean average was 49% and the median was 45%. The overwhelming majority of the releases covered by this data will be from standard determinate sentences but the way the data is recorded does not allow us readily to exclude releases from other types of determinate sentence, such as Detention and Training Orders and sentences for offenders of particular concern imposed under s.236A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 04/11/2019 17:57:21 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
