Release Information
How this offence affects release dates under the Sentencing Act 2026
Standard Release Provisions Apply
This offence does not trigger section 244ZA(7), so standard release rules apply:
- Release point now: One-half (½). This offence is in the Schedule to the 2024 Order that introduced the 40% release point, so 40% never applied to it
- From 1 October 2026: Unchanged. This offence is in the Schedule to SI 2026/953, so it is excluded from the progression model — the release point stays exactly where it is. It does not get longer
- Note: The applicable regime depends on sentence date, and people already in custody move across in stages by sentence length
Additional Notes
Historical offence. Excluded from the Sentencing Act progression model.
