Custodial Treatment
(asked on 21st November 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) male, and (2) female, prisoners are currently serving an extended determinate sentence with a custodial term of (a) less than 12 months, (b) between 12 months and two years, (c) between two and four years, (d) between four and five years, (e) between five and seven years, (f) between seven and 10 years, (g) 10 years to less than 14 years, and (h) 14 years or more.
The table below shows the number of prisoners serving an extended determinate sentence (EDS), by custodial term, and by sex, as at 30 September 2022, in England and Wales:
| Male | Female |
Less than 1 year | 5 | 0 |
1 year to less than 2 years | 8 | 0 |
2 years to less than 4 years | 138 | * |
4 years to less than 5 years | 474 | 23 |
5 years to less than 7 years | 971 | 19 |
7 years to less than 10 years | 1,516 | 18 |
10 years to less than 14 years | 1,871 | 23 |
14 years or more | 1,895 | * |
Sentence length not recorded | 3 | 0 |
The data above shows the custodial term imposed under the extended determinate sentence and therefore the maximum time offenders serving the sentence could spend in custody. Such prisoners may be released after having served two thirds of this custodial term at the discretion of the parole board.
