Share | I wont get very technical about the sentence given to this Police man but he has been given an indeterminate sentence. That means he could stay in prison for life.
Could he be released? Yes
When? When the Parole Board consider that he is no longer a danger to the public, after 7.5 years.
How do they assess that? By reading reports from an Offender Superviser, Probation, other prison personnel, psychologists/psychiatrists. The reports refer to his performance on various courses, his general behaviour in prison and his mental health. His attitude to women would be assessed.
So he gets out after 7.5 years? No. That is the earliest date the Parole Board can consider him for release.
But he could get out shortly thereafter? Very very doubtful. Most IPP prisoners serve at least twice the tarriff before being released. Those who are considered a danger are not released.
