Of these prisoners, 2,718 have passed their minimum tariff period.These and other statistics specific to those serving indeterminate sentences are published quarterly by the Ministry of Justice here: <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly<\/a><\/p><p> <\/p><p>I remain committed to ensuring IPP prisoners are able to progress towards release as soon it is safe to do so after their tariff has expired. IPP prisoners are achieving release in high numbers. In the year 2016/17, 46% of IPP prisoners achieved a release decision from the Parole Board, with a further 24% securing a progressive move to open conditions. Less than a third of hearings resulted in a negative outcome.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>A joint action plan is in place, co-owned by Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and the Parole Board, with the specific aim of providing as many opportunities for IPP prisoners to progress to safe release as soon as possible. A key part of the action plan has been to ensure that the parole process runs as smoothly as possible so as to provide IPP prisoners with timely access to parole reviews. The Parole Board has effectively eliminated its backlog and is now listing more hearings than ever before.<\/p>"}

Additionally, and building upon the success of the Progression Regime at HMP Warren Hill, HMPPS is planning for three new Progression Regimes to be opened by the end of March 2018.<\/p><p>These initiatives are working. During 2016/17, 46% of all IPP prisoners considered by the Parole Board were released and 24% recommended for a move to open conditions. 576 IPP prisoners were released in 2016, more than ever before. 315 IPP prisoners have already been released in the first half of 2017.<\/p><p>The attached table shows how many unreleased prisoners serving indeterminate sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) are located in each establishment and how many have served their minimum tariff.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
