answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2023 answer text <p>The estimated whole-life cost of designing, planning, implementing, and operating the Electronic Monitoring Future Service proposed in the Full Business Case over its whole life is £857.6M. This includes costs from the beginning of the Programme in 2021/2022 through to the end of the new contracts in 2032/2033 including a potential 2-year extension.</p><p>Where electronic monitoring can support an individual to remain in the community to serve their sentence or on court bail, it provides a cheaper alternative to prison. Electronic monitoring can also be used to support a robust community sentence as an alternative to a short custodial sentence. There is persuasive evidence that suspended and community sentences are more effective than short custodial sentences in reducing reoffending and rehabilitating offenders.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 13/11/2023 17:20:56 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
