<p>The information you ask for is available in the public domain; however, I have
provided it below for ease of reference.</p><p> </p><p>As of 31 March 2019, there
were 2,403 unreleased prisoners in custody serving Imprisonment for Public Protection
(IPP) sentences. In addition, a further 1,063 prisoners were serving an IPP sentence
following recall from the community.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the tariff-expired,
unreleased population of prisoners serving IPP sentences by original tariff length
and time over tariff, as at 31 March 2019.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Time

</p><p>As with any large-scale recording system, administrative IT systems are subject
to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p><p> </p><p>It is for the independent
Parole Board to review the detention of those prisoners serving an IPP sentence who
have completed their tariff period. The Board will direct the release of these prisoners
only if it is satisfied that the levels of risk posed to the general public are reduced
enough that the National Probation Service and its partner agencies can safely manage
them in the community under supervision.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst HM Prison and Probation
Service is focused on giving all prisoners serving IPP sentences opportunities to
progress towards release, public protection must remain our priority.</p>
