Prisoners: Databases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department operates a single database to record (a) the number of offenders serving standard determinate sentences, (b) their offence category and (c) their release dates.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The Department holds information on offenders' offences, sentences and release dates within the Digital Prison Services (DPS) platform and the legacy offender case management system, NOMIS. This information is not held in a single database but these systems combine information from many databases to address operational, reporting and analytical requirements
The current authoritative system of record, with synchronised data, remains the National Offender Management Information System (NOMIS).
