Fixed-term or sentence determination
After serving less than half of their sentence, prisoners sentenced to less than four years are automatically released and given unconditional release. For short sentences, there are different conditions.
An electronic tag can be used to release prisoners who have been sentenced for less than four years. This is called home detention curfew. Home detention curfew prisoners will continue to serve their sentences during this time and may be sent back to prison. Home detention curfew allows a prisoner to be released to any address in England, Wales, or Scotland. Learn more about home detention curfew at Families Outside.
After serving half of their sentence, parole boards will consider outside parole applications for prisoners who have served a sentence of at least four years. The parole board will grant parole and the prisoner will be granted a licence. If parole is denied (at this time or at a later hearing), the date at which the prisoner is freed will determine the release date.
If a prisoner is sentenced prior to 1 February 2016, and they have not been released on parole, they will be released on licence immediately after having served two-thirds of their sentence. The prisoner is still on licence and can be returned to custody at any time until their sentence expires.
If a prisoner is sentenced after February 1, 2016, and no parole is granted, they will be automatically released on licence. They have 6 months left on their sentence. The prisoner is still on licence and can be brought back in custody at any time until their sentence expires.
