Prisoners' Release: South Holland and the Deepings

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners released through early release schemes in (a) 2024 and (b) 2025 are resident in South Holland and the Deepings constituency.

Answered by Jake Richards

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 data on releases by constituency. However, we have published SDS40 release data alongside the quarterly Offender Management Statistics: Standard Determinate Sentence 40 (SDS40) : September 2024 to March 2025 - GOV.UK.
