It is worth briefly recapping where different cohorts of prisoners will stand as regards release, because it is phenomenally complicated—how people calculate sentences with paper, I have no idea. Currently, the progression model in the Bill sets a minimum release point of one-third for those serving an SDS sentence who currently have automatic release of 40% or 50%. For SDS prisoners serving more serious offences, who currently have a release point of 66%, the majority will have a 50% minimum.
