Prison Accommodation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate she has made of the number of prison places made available in the adult male estate as a result of the prisoner early release scheme.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The modelled estimates for the number of prison places made available in the adult male estate as a result of this change were published in the Impact Assessment for the Statutory Instrument to Amend the Standard Determinate Sentence Automatic Release Point.
This can be found at: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2024/117/pdfs/ukia_20240117_en.pdf. Further statistics will be published in due course.
