Based on this, the government believes it is very unlikely that an IPP prisoner would meet the test to be considered for FTR i.e. that they would not be a serious risk to the public if re-released after 14 or 28 days.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Instead, the Government has tabled amendments to the Victims and Prisoners Bill which will enable the Secretary of State to release a recalled IPP offender following Risk Assessed Recall Review (RARR) without the need for a Parole review when he considers it is in the interests of justice to do so.<\/p>"}

HMPPS does not allocate funding in such a way as it would be possible to disaggregate specific amounts dedicated to sentence planning, offender management and support for IPP offenders.<\/p><p>Unto that end, the Action Plan focuses on ensuring offenders can access the required services or interventions in order to take positive steps towards a future release, a sustainable life in the community and, ultimately, the end of their sentence altogether. Further, when it comes to those serving the IPP sentence in prison, the Action Plan requires that they have an up to date sentence plan and are held in a prison which provides the intervention(s) specified in the sentence plan. It is expected that the latest IPP Annual Report and Action Plan will be published in mid-May.<\/p><p>We have taken significant action through the Victims and Prisoners Bill to curtail IPP licence periods to give offenders the opportunity to move on with their lives. In addition to these changes, the actions this Government is taking are working; the number of prisoners serving the IPP sentence who have never been released now stands at 1,180 as of 31 March 2024, down from more than 6,000 in 2012.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
