answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>There are no current plans to commence Section 151 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which allows courts, in certain circumstances, to use community orders for repeat offenders who might otherwise expect to receive fines.</p><p> </p><p>Section 143(2) of that Act requires courts to treat previous convictions as an aggravating factor when sentencing. For shop theft offences, the Sentencing Council’s guideline on theft offences came into force in 2016. This guideline allows for the imposition of community sentences for shop theft in a wide range of circumstances. In cases involving significant persistent offending, the community and custodial thresholds may be crossed even though the offence otherwise warrants a lesser sentence.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 03/04/2019 16:40:51 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

uin	237660
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>There is a strong case to abolish sentences of six months or less, with some exceptions. We are therefore exploring options to restrict the use of short custodial sentences, but we have not at this stage reached any conclusions.</p><p>There is persuasive evidence showing community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective than short custodial sentences in reducing reoffending. The MoJ study ‘The impact of short custodial sentences, community orders and suspended sentence orders on re-offending’ published in 2015 found that over a 1-year follow up period, a higher proportion of people re-offended having been sentenced to custody of under 12 months without supervision on release than other similar people given community orders.</p><p>Unless we tackle the underlying causes of offending, we cannot protect the public from being victims of crime. Effective community orders can address offenders’ behaviour, answer their mental health and alcohol or drug misuse needs, and provide reparation for the benefit of the wider community.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 01/04/2019 22:29:30 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>We are taking urgent and decisive action to stop contraband, such as drugs and mobile telephones, from entering our prisons. These items pose a significant threat to safety and security.</p><p> </p><p>X-ray body scanners allow prison staff to detect items hidden inside prisoners’ bodies. The following prisons in England and Wales already have such body scanners installed: HMP Altcourse, Belmarsh, Doncaster, Forest Bank, Holme House, Leeds, Northumberland and Peterborough.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the Government’s £70 million investment in safety, security and decency, we have commenced an installation programme in a number of additional prisons, including the 10 Prisons Project and the long-term and high security estate. These are some of our most challenging prisons and are more likely to face attempts by prisoners to hide contraband inside their bodies in light of other security measures already in place.</p><p> </p><p>We will consider whether to introduce additional X-ray body scanners once they have been installed and used in the 10 Prisons Project and long-term and high security estate. In the meantime, we are going out to tender for a new contract that will give the Prison Service the means to purchase further scanners in future.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 03/04/2019 16:45:50 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
