Prisoners: Wales
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Thursday 17th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average proportion of sentence served was by Welsh prisoners, based on home address, in custody in 2025, by ethnic group. Answered by Catherine McKinnell - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Centrally collated prison releases data only allows for "average proportion of sentence" to be readily estimated for those released from determinate sentences and this calculation may also include time spent in the community on bail. Therefore, to provide an accurate response would incur disproportionate cost to the department.
With regards to the number of prison leavers, the requested information has been provided as an Excel file alongside this response. |
