Everything about Life Licence totally explained
In the
British criminal justice system, a
life licence specifies the conditions under which a prisoner sentenced to
life in
jail may be released.
A prisoner who has served their tariff (minimum sentence) becomes eligible for
parole. If the
parole board agrees to release a prisoner who was sentenced to life, he or she's released on a life licence. Prisoners who break the conditions of their release, or who are found to be a danger to the public, can be immediately re-incarcerated under the terms of this licence.
For England and Wales, the law regarding release on licence of prisoners is laid out in chapter 2 of the Crime (Sentences) Act of 1997 (see in particular sections 28–30). This Act was amended and updated by the
Criminal Justice Act 2003 chapters 6 and 7.
For Scotland, the law is set out in the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993, as amended in relation to life prisoners by the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Act 2001, which incorporated changes to ensure that the procedure is compliant with the
European Convention on Human Rights.
