The Government recently announced further offence-based exclusions from the Sentence Act 2026 progression model, including offences relating to unlawful killing and indecent assault, building on the previously announced exclusions for rape, serious child sexual offences and grooming offences. This means fewer offenders will be eligible for release under the progression model.

Current published estimates do not identify releases from individual prisons, including HMP Littlehey. We have, however published the best available modelled estimates of the volumes of all offenders estimated to be released on the first day of each tranche. This information is now available at: Sentencing Act 2026 offence exclusions - GOV.UK
