answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>Open prisons have been used since 1936, because they are the most effective means of ensuring that prisoners are suitably risk-assessed before they are released into the community under appropriate licence conditions. These prisons also provide effective supervision for prisoners who do not require the security conditions of the closed estate, because they have been assessed as having a low risk of harm to the public and a low risk of absconding by the independent Parole Board and/or NOMS.</p><p> </p><p>Indeterminate sentence prisoners located in open conditions have been rigorously risk assessed and categorised as being of a low enough risk to the public to warrant their placement in an open prison. They will have previously spent time in prisons with higher levels of security, before being transferred to open conditions if recommended by the Parole Board - or directed through NOMS. Time spent in open prisons affords prisoners the opportunity to find work, re-establish family ties, reintegrate into the community and ensure housing needs are met. For many prisoners, in particular those, such as Indeterminate Sentence Prisoners who have spent a considerable amount of time in custody; these are essential components for successful reintegration in the community and therefore an important factor in protecting the public. To release these prisoners directly from a closed prison without the resettlement benefits of the open estate would undoubtedly lead to higher levels of post-release re-offending.</p><p> </p><p>The requested information is provided in the table below.</p><p> </p><p>These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 197807 (Reply data).xls title Table 1

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The sentencing framework and sentencing guidelines apply equally to all offenders. Sentencing is entirely a matter for the courts, taking account of all the circumstances of each case. This will include the seriousness of the offence, including all aggravating and mitigating factors, and a guilty plea.</p><p> </p><p>Fraud has a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment and there are various other offences which are specific to benefit fraud, with maximum penalties of up to seven years' imprisonment. The courts must follow the relevant sentencing guideline in their approach to sentencing. Last year, the Sentencing Council conducted a public consultation on a new draft guideline for fraud and a new definitive guideline, informed by the responses received, will apply in due course.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to criminal penalties, those convicted of benefit fraud also face a restriction on their benefits for an extended period.</p><p> </p><p>The number of men and women sentenced at all courts for offences relating to benefit fraud in England and Wales from 2002 to2012 (latest data available) can be viewed in the table.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that court proceedings statistics for the year 2013 are planned to be published by the Ministry of Justice on 15th May 2014.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 197800 Table.xls title Table 1
