answer text <p>The assessment of the sentence of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) found that they had been used far more widely than intended, and the IPP sentence was subsequently abolished in 2012 and replaced with a new regime of determinate sentences alongside life sentences for the most serious offenders.</p><p> </p><p>Attention is now focused on reducing the risk and thereby the successful rehabilitation of those prisoners who continue to serve the IPP sentence. A joint action plan is in place, co-owned by Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and the Parole Board, with the specific aim of providing opportunities for prisoners to progress towards safe release. The plan reviewed regularly to ensure that the actions in it meet the changing needs of the IPP population.</p><p> </p><p>This approach is working, with high numbers of unreleased IPP prisoners achieving a release decision year on year: 562 in 2015, 576 in 2016, 616 I 2017 and 506 in 2018. However, it is important to remember that prisoners serving IPP sentences have committed serious sexual or violent offences - and many remain in prison because the independent parole board has assessed their risk of serious harm to the public to be too great to warrant their release.</p>

The corresponding breakdown by gender can be found in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>BCS Q B4.12: Were you working before you came to custody?</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Gender</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Count of Assessments</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Percentage</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>1010</p></td><td><p>0.99%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>21151</p></td><td><p>20.78%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>6513</p></td><td><p>6.40%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>55024</p></td><td><p>54.05%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unemployed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>0.01%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unavailable for work</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>2265</p></td><td><p>2.22%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Unavailable for work</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>8519</p></td><td><p>8.37%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>69</p></td><td><p>0.07%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>1097</p></td><td><p>1.08%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retired</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>106</p></td><td><p>0.10%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>6045</p></td><td><p>5.94%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Self-employed</p></td><td><p>Not disclosed</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Count:</p></td><td><p>101808</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Note: Slight discrepancies in the figures from those published in response to question 196156 are likely to be due to the deletion of offender records and/or BCS responses from the OASys application since those figures were published.</p><p>As was stated in the earlier answer, these figures are compiled from information the prisoners have provided the assessor to enter into the BCS and include not only prisoners sentenced in respect of a criminal offence, but also those received into custody on remand. Given the information is provided by the prisoners themselves and is not assessed, there will always be a margin of error in the figures. A proportion of prisoners will enter custody multiple times each year and may provide different answers to these questions over time.</p><p> </p><p>Prisons must be places of rehabilitation, which will ultimately reduce reoffending. Our Education and Employment strategy sets out how we will transform our approach to ensure prisoners develop the skills they need to secure employment on release. We have overhauled the prison education system and we implemented our new prison education contracts. Governors control their budget, including the power to choose providers and deliver learning that will best support their prisoners. We are engaging with employers to take on ex-prisoners via the New Futures Network (NFN) and have consulted on proposals to increase the opportunities available to prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces through ROTL.</p>
