Prisoners' Release: Homelessness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people serving an IPP sentence have been recalled to prison because of homelessness in each of the last 12 months.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
Data on the number of offenders recalled to custody after becoming homeless are not held centrally and could only be supplied at disproportionate cost.
Information about the number of IPP recalls is published in quarterly offender management statistics - Offender management statistics quarterly - GOV.UK.
