Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many prisoners convicted of sharing intimate images have been released early.
The new Government inherited a justice system in crisis and took decisive action to stop our prisons from collapsing. When we replaced the previous Government’s early release scheme with SDS40, we specifically excluded sexual offences, including sharing intimate images without consent.
Data on SDS40 releases forms a subset of data intended for future publication.
