The nature of breaches vary, and not all non-compliance events are classed as formal breaches requiring further action – for example, if the subject was at hospital or in custody at the time, and therefore unable to return to their curfew location in time for their curfew. While the majority of non-compliance events will generate an alert than can lead to a breach there are a range of other circumstances that can lead to breach action being taken.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 21/10/2019 16:11:12 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

uin	955
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Data on releases from prison is published regularly in the Offender Management Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018</a></p><p> </p><p>Tables A3.2i and ii of <em>Prison Releases 2018</em> show that the mean average proportion of the sentence served in prison by males released from determinate sentences in 2018 was 65%, the median proportion was 55%. For females the mean average was 50% and the median was 45%. This data includes both standard determinate sentences, for which the automatic release point is 50% of the sentence, and extended determinate sentences (EDS), for which the earliest point of release is two-thirds of the sentence.</p><p> </p><p>There are two key factors which help to explain the difference in time served in custody. Men tend to be convicted of more serious offences attracting longer custodial sentences. This means that women are more likely to be eligible for early release under the home detention curfew (HDC) scheme, which allows release up to 135 days before the halfway point of the sentence and is limited to offenders sentenced to less than four years who pass a risk assessment. The data in these tables also includes time served following recall to prison from licenced supervision. Recalled men tend to be serving longer sentences (12 months or more) and will generally serve longer after recall than recalled women, who tend to be serving less than 12 months.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 22/10/2019 15:19:26 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
