	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>Attending an accredited offending behaviour programme (OBP) in custody is voluntary, meaning there are not any automatic sanctions for non-attendance. Prisoners who exhibit unacceptable behaviours whilst involved in a programme will face standard disciplinary procedures. Removal from programmes, however, can also take place due to behaviour unrelated to participation in a programme. Sanctions can be implemented through the adjudication process or in relation to Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP). In order to collect the information requested a matching exercise using prison population and adjudication databases would be required to identify each individual prisoner who was punished under the Prison Rules. As a result, the data could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Accredited Programmes can also be part of a Community Sentence or a Licence Condition, in which case offenders can be breached or recalled to custody for not being compliant. Data relating to breach and recall in these specific instances is not available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 17/06/2019 16:55:40 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
