answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>The Victim Contact Scheme enables victims of offenders who receive a sentence of imprisonment of 12 months or more or a hospital order, for violent or sexual offences, to be informed at key stages of the offender’s sentence. Key stages include any transfer to open prison conditions. Victims will also be informed of the prospective date of release.</p><p> </p><p>Where the offender is serving a determinate sentence, the release date is fixed. Victims will be informed of the expected month of release very early following sentence and will be updated should this date change - for example, if the offender receives added days.</p><p> </p><p>Where the offender is subject to discretionary release by the Parole Board, the victim will be informed early in the sentence of the month in which the offender will become eligible for consideration for release, and be informed of the Parole Board’s decision, including if this is to release the offender.</p><p> </p><p>Where release is subject to a Parole Board hearing the victim has the right to make a Victim Personal Statement. The Victim Personal Statement (VPS) provides victims with a valuable opportunity to tell the Parole Board how the prisoner’s offence has affected them or their family and what the impact of the prisoner’s release will be on them. The victim can apply to the Parole Board to read the VPS in person, with the presumption that the Parole Board will agree to this. The right to make a VPS to the Parole Board, and to apply to read it in person, was enshrined in the revised Victims Code which was published in October 2013.</p><p> </p><p>The Victim Contact Scheme also provides a statutory right for victims to make representations about the licence conditions that should be in place on release, to reassure and protect them, and to be informed which conditions have been included on the licence as a result of their request. These will typically be exclusion zones to reduce the risks of unexpected contact, and to prohibit contact with the victim.</p><p> </p><p>The National Offender Management Service does not record information centrally in relation to the number of victims who make a VPS and has not made an estimate of this number.</p><p> </p><p>In September this year, we published “Our Commitment to Victims” undertaking to do more to help victims navigate the criminal justice system, access the information and support they need, protect vulnerable victims and witnesses in court and to guarantee their rights in law.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 05/01/2015 17:41:09 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

To identify the number of prisoners who were held in a cell designed for one but shared it with more than one other prisoner in each of the last four years would require manually going through individual prison cell certificate records in each prison, followed by a manual trawl of prisoners' individuals records to identify each prisoner’s cell location in each of the last four years, which could only be undertaken at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>We will always have enough prison places for those sent to us by the courts and continue to modernise the prison estate so that it delivers best value for the taxpayer.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department’s Analytical Summary on absconding incidents, published in November 2014, how many prisoners with a previous absconding incident and already in open conditions were assessed by the National Offender Management Service in the last three years; how many of those prisoners were allowed to remain in open conditions; and what crimes those prisoners have committed.

uin	219498
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>We do not hold information centrally on how many offenders with an abscond history were assessed for open conditions over the last three years.</p><p> </p><p>No prisoner will be transferred to open conditions, whether he has an abscond history or not, without an assessment. For indeterminate sentence prisoners (ISPs – those serving life or Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences), the principal means of approval for transfer to open conditions is by way of a positive recommendation from the independent Parole Board, which falls to officials either to accept or reject on behalf of the Secretary of State, under agreed delegated authority and in accordance with policy agreed by the Secretary of State. However, ISPs may also apply to progress to open conditions without a positive recommendation from the Parole Board being sought, where they can show exceptional progress in reducing their risk. Each application is determined on its merits under agreed delegated authority by officials in the Offender Management and Public Protection Group in the Ministry of Justice.</p><p> </p><p>Determinate sentenced prisoners are assessed for their suitability for open conditions by experienced prison staff with relevant input from offender managers and other professionals within the prison. The assessment will consider the extent to which the prisoner has reduced identified risks and any intelligence or other information that provides evidence of the prisoner’s trustworthiness for conditions of low security. Determinate sentence prisoners should not generally be moved to open prison if they have more than two years to serve to their earliest release date, unless assessment of a prisoner’s individual risks and needs support earlier categorisation to open conditions. Such cases must have the reasons for their categorisation fully documented and confirmed in writing by the Governing Governor.</p><p> </p><p>The public have understandable concerns about the failure of some prisoners to return from temporary release from open prison. Keeping the public safe is our priority and we will not allow the actions of a small minority of offenders to undermine public confidence in the prison system. The number of temporary release failures remains very low; less that one failure in every 1,000 releases and about five in every 100,000 releases involving alleged offending, but we take each and every incident seriously. The Government has already made changes to tighten up the system as a matter of urgency. Prisoners are now no longer eligible for transfer to open conditions if they have previously absconded from open prisons; or if they have failed to return or have reoffended whilst released on temporary licence, unless there are exceptional circumstances.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 05/01/2015 17:16:44 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>The indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) was abolished in late 2012, but not retrospectively. It is for the independent Parole Board to determine whether a prisoner serving an IPP should be released once he has completed the minimum custodial period set by the Court for the purposes of retribution and deterrence – commonly known as the “tariff”. Under the statutory release test, the Parole Board may direct the release of an IPP prisoner only if it is satisfied that it is no longer necessary on the grounds of public protection for the prisoner to be detained in custody. It is right that IPP prisoners should remain in custody until it is safe for them to be released.</p><p> </p><p>Some short tariff IPPs who were sentenced prior to the 2008 changes are achieving release, where they engage with opportunities provided to them to reduce their risk. As the table below shows, a total of 594 of these prisoners remain in custody as at the end of September 2014.
