How much time do you serve on a prison sentence UK
How much time do you serve on a prison sentence in the UK? Determinate prison sentences or Determinate sentences which they are legally known as are the most common type of custodial sentence handed down by a judge at sentencing.
This is where the prison sentence is set for a length of time of what you should be spending in prison. For example if a person is sentenced to 5 years in prison, this is theoretically how long they should stay in prison, however in the UK, the prison is actually only due to serve HALF inside prison and the other HALF outside of prison on licence with probation. Should the prisoner reoffend or go against any terms set by the probation officer then could be automatically recalled to prison to carry on the sentence and any other sentences imposed by any other crimes commited whilst on licence.
If the crime is a serious violent crim eor sexualy offence and is sentenced to more than 7 years then the HALF way point may not be relevant. Instead, the prisoner would be released at the two thirds mark. For terrorism, it may be even more than the two thirds point.
