List of Prisoners With Whole-life Tariffs

List Of Prisoners With Whole-life Tariffs

This is a list of prisoners who have received a whole life tariff through some mechanism in jurisdictions of the United Kingdom. At least 61 such orders have been made since 1983.

11 of these prisoners have since died in prison, while three of them have had their sentences reduced on appeal, meaning that there are currently at least 50 prisoners serving such sentences. There have been media reports that other prisoners have been issued with whole life tariffs, but their status has not been confirmed by the Home Office; these include Harry Roberts, who has been in prison since 1966 for the murder of three policemen in London.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or prisoners:

    Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We are prisoners of the world’s demented sink.
    The soft enchantments of our years of innocence
    Are harvested by accredited experience
    Our fondest memories soon turn to poison
    And only oblivion remains in season.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
