answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>Since 2007 we have been acting to reduce the exposure of staff and prisoners to the harmful effects of second hand smoke in all prisons controlled by the Ministry of Justice. Immigration Removal Centres (IRC) – including the one (Morton Hall) operated by HMPPS - are managed under Home Office rules and therefore the [HMPPS] Smoke Free Policy Framework does not apply. However, the Home Office had agreed that Morton Hall would adopt the same smoke free process as Ministry of Justice operated open prisons, whereby detainees are able to smoke in the open air in designated smoking areas and are not allowed to smoke inside any building.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 05/03/2019 17:33:44 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>Prisoners sentenced to a standard determinate custodial sentence must be released automatically at the halfway point of their sentence. Those sentenced to at least 12 weeks but less than four years may be released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) up to 135 days before the halfway point, depending on sentence length. They must meet strict eligibility criteria and pass a risk assessment, and will be liable to recall to prison if they fail to comply with strict electronic monitoring and other conditions attached to their release.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners must serve at least one quarter of their sentence in custody (subject to a minimum of 28 days) before they can be released on HDC. Any relevant time spent on remand in custody or on bail subject to electronic monitoring (&quot;tagged bail&quot;) may count as time served towards the sentence but an offender must serve at least 14 days after the sentence is imposed before release on HDC.</p><p> </p><p>Table A below indicates the minimum period that must be served in prison before an eligible prisoner can be released on HDC, depending on the sentence passed by the court.
