answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p>Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for our independent judiciary, taking account of the circumstances of the case and the maximum penalty for the offence. But when sentencing an offender the courts must treat recent and relevant previous convictions as an aggravating factor. There is also a mandatory minimum sentence of three years’ imprisonment for a third conviction for domestic burglary. The sentencing guideline for burglary aims to ensure that the effect on victims is at the centre of considerations about what sentence each offender should receive. The average custodial sentence length for domestic burglary has increased from 21.4 months in 2009 to 23.6 months in 2013.</p><p>This Government is committed to strengthening sentences, so that they combine both punishment and requirements that are effective at preventing further offending. We are transforming rehabilitation, by bringing together the best of the public, private and voluntary sectors, and only rewarding them when they actually do reduce re-offending.</p><p>During the 12 months ending June 2014, all local justice areas sentenced at least one offender with 15 or more previous convictions to a sentence that did not entail immediate custody for their latest conviction of a burglary offence.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 23/03/2015 17:54:02 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the longest time is that any prisoner has been on the run in the last 30 years; for what offence that prisoner was sentenced; what the length of that sentence was; and how long that prisoner had served before absconding.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2014 answer text <p>Detailed records of offenders who are unlawfully at large have only been maintained since April 2004. It is not possible therefore to provide details of any prisoner who has been unlawfully at large before this period or to specify the longest period of absence.</p><p> </p><p>The number of escapes, absconds and temporary release failures has fallen over the last two decades. When a prisoner becomes unlawfully at large he or she is immediately reported to police to locate and apprehend. Unlawfully at large prisoners are often recaptured and returned to custody quickly, and over 97% of prisoners who absconded between April 2004 and March 2014 have been returned to custody. Absconds are taken very seriously. Re-captured prisoners will be returned to a more secure closed prison and will face either a criminal prosecution or an internal adjudication in prison in front of a visiting judge. In either case they can receive additional time in prison.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 29/10/2014 17:52:50 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
