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.
