Prisoners' Release

Asked by Kim JohnsonLabourMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 7 January 2025UIN 21412

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of people serving an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence have been recalled to prison due to criminal allegations made against them which did not result in further police action, in each of the past eight quarters.

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.
