<p>The sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) was introduced by the
Criminal Justice Act 2003 for offences committed after April 2005. They were abolished
in 2012 by the Coalition Government.</p><p>The Parole Board is independent, and so
it would not be appropriate for the Secretary of State to guide the Parole Board on
how to prioritise their cases. However, the MoJ and the Parole Board are working together
to facilitate faster reviews of indeterminate sentences cases following recall, as
part of a package of measures designed to reduce delays in cases heard by the Board.</p><p>Offenders
serving an IPP sentence in the community are not subject to a life licence.</p><p>IPP
sentences can be terminated upon application to the independent Parole Board by the
individual offender. If an application for termination is turned down, the offender
may then apply on a yearly basis thereafter until it is terminated. Once terminated,
the IPP sentence ends and the offender is no longer under the management of the National
Probation Service and is not subject to licence conditions. No such applications have
yet been received.</p><p>The table below is a breakdown of the offenders serving a
sentence of IPP who have been recalled in each year from 2010 to 2015, broken down
by the principal reason for recall. Some offenders are recalled for more than one
reason and so the number of reasons does not necessarily sum to the total number of
recalls. Figures are therefore not directly comparable across years.</p><p>Of the
1149 IPP offenders recalled between 2010 and 2015, and the 35 who were recalled prior
to that period, 502 had been re-released by 31 December 2015. This does not include
recalled IPP offenders who were deported, discharged from hospital, or had their sentence
quashed. This data is derived from matching data on recalled offenders with data on
released offenders. Its accuracy relies on all such data being accurately recorded.</p><table><tbody><tr><td
