question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of offenders sentenced to custody have served less than half their full sentence term due to early release in each year since 2007.
tabling member constituency	Harborough

uin	266858
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>Prisoners sentenced to a standard determinate custodial sentence must be released automatically at the halfway point of their sentence and serve the second half on licence. 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.</p><p> </p><p>HDC is a robust scheme which allows suitable, risk assessed, prisoners to work towards rehabilitation in the community, while remaining subject to strict monitoring and other conditions. If they breach these, they can be returned to custody. HDC allows reintegration back into the community in a controlled and supervised way, which research suggests may help to reduce the risk of further offending.</p><p> </p><p>Between 2007 and 2010, a further scheme operated which also allowed for early release before the halfway point of sentence – the End of Custody Licence (ECL) scheme. This allowed certain adult prisoners to be released 18 days before their normal halfway release point. It was brought to an end in March 2010.</p><p> </p><p>Children sentenced to a Detention and Training Order (DTO) serve the first half in custody, and the second half in the community. Most children serving a DTO of 8 months or more can be released one or two months earlier (depending on the DTO length) than the normal mid-point of sentence.</p><p> </p><p>The attached table shows the number of offenders released early under the Home Detention Curfew, End of Custody Licence and Detention and Training Order early release schemes in each year since 2007, and the proportion of all prisoners released who were released under each scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners may also be released early before having served half the sentence under the Early Removal Scheme (ERS). Under this scheme offenders liable to removal from the United Kingdom who have served at least a quarter of the sentence may be released before the halfway appoint solely in order to facilitate their deportation. Prisoners may also be released early on compassionate grounds (ERCG) before they have served half the sentence. Relevant data on releases under ERS and ERCG are not collated centrally.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 25/06/2019 14:14:32 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland attachment 1 file name Copy of Copy of PQ 266858.xls title Table

uin	266859
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>Offenders serving determinate sentences do not serve the sentence in full in custody but are released at the automatic release date. In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (CJA 2003) and the previous provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (now contained in Schedule 20B to the CJA 2003). The automatic release date is generally at the half way point of the sentence. For certain extended sentences (comprising a custodial period and an extended licence period) the automatic release date is at the two thirds point of the custodial period. Once released, offenders continue to serve the sentence on licence in the community.</p><p>Those serving indeterminate sentences who are not released by the Parole Board and those given whole life orders will serve the sentence in full.</p><p>There are terms of imprisonment for civil committals where there is no provision for early release. In such cases, release is unconditional once the term has been served in full.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 24/06/2019 15:48:36 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
