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.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>IPP sentences were introduced in <strong>the Criminal Justice Act </strong>2003 for offences committed after April 2005. They were abolished in 2012 by the Coalition Government. IPP prisoners will be released whe the Parole Board is satisfied that they can be safely managed in the community. It is a priority for us to help remaining IPP prisoners progress towards release, including by ensuring that their parole reviews take place on time, through greater efficiency in the parole process, and by giving them the opportunity to complete relevant interventions and work. In 2015 there were 512 IPP releases - the highest number of annual releases since the sentence became available.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/06/2016 11:04:15 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
