HMP Channings Wood: Prisoners' Release

Asked by Martin WrigleyLiberal DemocratMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 8 July 2026UIN 14581

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners convicted of sexual offences have been released from Channing's Wood prison under the early release scheme since July 2024.

Answered by Jake Richards

Data on SDS40 is published transparently and can be broken down by prison rather than offence (partly because many offenders have more than one offence). Table 8 provides data on HMP Channing’s Wood: Standard Determinate Sentence (SDS40) release data: October 2024 to December 2025 - GOV.UK
