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:
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“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)
“We are the prisoners of ideas. They catch us up for moments into their heaven, and so fully engage us, that we take no thought for the morrow, gaze like children, without an effort to make them our own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
