‘The last two years has brought a myriad of changes to the proportion of a custodial sentence that offenders will actually have to serve. Many factors are beyond the control of judges or counsel, and many of the changes have been made without fanfare. Some of the changes are welcome news.

Others have inevitably contributed to the escalating prison population. Alexandra Scott gives an overview of the regime as currently stands.’
