Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many (1) male, and (2) female, convicted prisoners serving indeterminate sentences for public protection are currently held in England and Wales; and how many such prisoners have been released in the last 12 months.
The information you ask for is routinely published and therefore available in the public domain; however, I have provided it below for ease of reference.
IPP population as at 30 June 2019:
|
| Men | Women |
Unreleased IPP |
| 2,273 | 42 |
Recalled IPP |
| 1,086 | 28 |
Total |
| 3,359 | 70 |
IPP first releases April 2018 to March 2019 inclusive:
Men | Women |
451 | 11 |
Between April 2018 and March 2019 inclusive, a total of 356 IPP prisoners were released following recall from the community. This data is not separated by gender.
