By definition, absconds are only possible from prisons with open conditions (Category D).</p><p> </p><p>Data on absconds are published annually in the HMPPS Annual Digest. The requested information can be found via the following link: <a href="https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F66a0ff7fab418ab055592c74%2F01_Escapes.ods&amp;wdOrigin=BROWSELINK" target="_blank">Absconds Data.</a></p><p> </p><p>Public protection is our top priority. When a prisoner absconds, police are immediately notified and are responsible for locating the offender. The majority of absconders are quickly recaptured and returned to custody.</p><p> </p><p>Those who abscond face serious consequences, including being returned to closed prison conditions, where they may serve up to two additional years on conviction.</p> answering member constituency Scunthorpe answering member printed Sir Nicholas Dakin question first answered 31/10/2024 16:59:01 answering member 4056 label Biography information for Nic Dakin
