   When can a prisoner be automatically released?

   • Provision for automatic release at the half way point was introduced by section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 and was for prisoners serving a term of less than four years. Prisoners serving four years or more could apply for parole at the halfway point and were automatically released once they had served two-thirds of their sentence.

   Will all eligible prisoners be released at the same time?

   • This will depend on whether they have any sentences that are eligible for early release. To free up enough capacity, this change will also be applied to current prisoners from September, but not all eligible offenders in prison will be released at the same time.
