Prison Population Projections 2014 – 2020 
introduction of the Extended Determinate Sentence (EDS) as part of the Legal 
Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders8 (LASPO) Act which 
commenced in December 2012. Some of the growth in the determinate 
population has been offset by a decline in the indeterminate population 
following the removal of the Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence 
in the LASPO act.      
Appendix A contains tables for annual projected end of June populations, 
average financial year populations and total monthly populations for each 
scenario along with detailed breakdown of the projections for our sub-
populations.
