Prisoners' Release: Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners released through early release schemes in 2024 are resident in Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
This Government inherited prisons days from collapse. We have had no choice but to take decisive action to stop our prisons overflowing and keep the public safe.
The Ministry of Justice does not hold this data and to provide it would result in a disproportionate cost.
We have published SDS40 release data alongside the quarterly Offender Management Statistics, in line with the Lord Chancellor’s commitment to transparency: Standard Determinate Sentence (SDS40) release data - GOV.UK.
