As of 30 September 2023, the number of people serving life sentences for second listed offences in prisons in England and Wales is 259. We are not providing data as at 7 November because of the restrictions of the Code of Practice for Statistics. The information requested [the number of offenders serving a life sentence for second listed offences as at 07 November] is a subset of the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly which we routinely publish. Figures relating to population in prison, releases and recall of offenders for October-December 2023 are planned for publication on 25 April 2024.<\/p>
