b in any other case, as soon as the prisoner has served two-fifths of the prisoner’s sentence,
and, subject to section 26A(4) (extended sentences: release on licence) and to any supervised release order which applies to the prisoner, such release is to be unconditional.

8 Schedule 1 to this Act, which makes special provision as respects the release of persons serving both a sentence of imprisonment imposed on conviction of an offence and a term of imprisonment or detention referred to in section 5(1)(a) or (b) of this Act, shall have effect.
9 This section does not apply in relation to a person to whom section 1AB applies to the extent that the person is serving a sentence of imprisonment imposed
a in respect of an offence within section 1AB(2) , or
b under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act in respect of an offence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB to that Act (offences involving or connected with a threat to national security).
10 In this section, “domestic abuse offence” means—
a an offence that is aggravated as described in section 1(1)(a) of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016, or
b an offence under section 1(1) of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018.

1AA Release of certain sexual offenders

1 As soon as a prisoner to whom this section applies has served one-half of his sentence the Scottish Ministers are to release him on licence.
2 This section applies to any short-term prisoner—
a sentenced to a term of 6 months or more; and
b who, by virtue of the conviction in respect of which that sentence was imposed, is subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (c. 42).
3 It is immaterial, for the purposes of subsections (1) and (2) above, when the offence of which the prisoner was convicted was committed.
4 But this section does not apply to a prisoner who was released under section 1(1) of this Act in relation to the sentence mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above before the date on which section 15(3) of the Management of Offenders etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 (asp 14) came into force (except that where the prisoner is serving terms which by virtue of section 27(5) of this Act fall to be treated as a single term, the reference in the preceding provisions of this subsection to his being released in relation to the sentence mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above is to be construed as a reference to his being released in relation to the single term).
5 Section 17 of this Act applies to such short-term prisoners as are mentioned in subsection (2) above as that section applies to long-term prisoners.
6 Where a prisoner is released on licence under this section, the licence (unless revoked) remains in force until the entire period specified in his sentence (reckoned from the commencement of the sentence) has elapsed; but this subsection is subject to subsections (7) and (8) below.
7 Where the prisoner is serving terms which by virtue of section 27(5) of this Act fall to be treated as a single term the licence (unless revoked) remains in force until the relevant period (reckoned from the commencement of the single term) has elapsed.
8 The “relevant period” mentioned in subsection (7) above is—
a the single term after deduction of half the number of days (if any) by which that term exceeds what it would be were there disregarded in determining it such terms (if any) as are imposed for a conviction other than one by virtue of which the prisoner is subject to the notification requirements mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above; or
b if to disregard such terms as are so imposed would have the consequence—
i that there would not remain two or more terms to treat as a single term; or
ii that though two or more terms would remain they would no longer be consecutive or wholly or partly concurrent,
the single term after deduction of half the number of days (if any) by which that term exceeds the term imposed for the conviction, or as the case may be the terms imposed for the convictions, by virtue of which the prisoner is subject to those requirements.
9 This section is subject to section 1B.

1AB Restricted eligibility for release on licence of terrorist prisoners and other prisoners serving a sentence imposed under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act

1 This section applies to a person other than a life prisoner (a “terrorist prisoner”) who—
a is serving a sentence of imprisonment imposed (whether before or after this section comes into force) in respect of an offence within subsection (2), and
b has not been released on licence.
2 An offence is within this subsection (whenever it was committed) if—
a it is specified in Part 1 or 2 of Schedule 1A (terrorism offences punishable with imprisonment for life or for more than two years),
b it is a service offence as respects which the corresponding civil offence is so specified, or
c it was determined to have a terrorist connection.
2A Subsections (3) to (5) apply unless the terrorist prisoner's sentence was imposed—
a under section 205ZA or 210A of the 1995 Act (serious terrorism sentence or extended sentence for dangerous offenders),
b on or after the day on which section 28 of the Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act 2021 comes into force, and
c in respect of an offence that—
i is specified in Part 1 of Schedule 1A (terrorism offences punishable with imprisonment for life),
ii is a service offence as respects which the corresponding civil offence is so specified,
iii is specified in Part 3 of that Schedule (other offences punishable with imprisonment for life) and was determined to have a terrorist connection, or
iv is a service offence as respects which the corresponding civil offence is so specified, and was determined to have a terrorist connection.
2B This section also applies to a prisoner other than a life prisoner who is serving a sentence of imprisonment imposed under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act in respect of an offence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB to that Act (offences involving or connected with a threat to national security).
3 The Scottish Ministers must refer the prisoner’s case to the Parole Board—
a as soon as the prisoner has served two-thirds of the prisoner's sentence, and
b where there has been a previous reference of the prisoner's case to the Parole Board under this subsection and the Parole Board did not recommend the prisoner's release, no later than the second anniversary of the disposal of that reference.
4 As soon as the Parole Board has recommended the release of a F374... prisoner under this section in pursuance of a referral under subsection (3), the Scottish Ministers must release the prisoner on licence.
5 The Parole Board must not make a recommendation under subsection (4) unless it is satisfied that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public that the F375... prisoner should be confined.
5A For the purposes of this section, an offence was determined to have a terrorist connection if it was—
a proved to have been aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection under section 31 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, or
b determined to have a terrorist connection under—
i section 30 or 32 of that Act, or
ii section 69 of the Sentencing Code (including as applied by section 238(6) of the Armed Forces Act 2006),
(in the case of an offender sentenced in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or for a service offence, but now subject to the provisions of this Part).
5B Subsection (4) is subject to sections 1A and 1B.
6 For the purposes of this section, “service offence” and “corresponding civil offence” have the same meanings as in the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (see section 95 of that Act).
7 This section is subject to section 8 of the Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Act 2020 (transitional provision for terrorist prisoners subject to supervised release orders).

F4C71A  Application to certain persons serving more than one sentence.

1 Where a prisoner has been sentenced to two or more terms of imprisonment which are wholly or partly concurrent and do not fall to be treated as a single term by virtue of section 27(5) of this Act—
a nothing in this Part of this Act shall require the Secretary of State to release him in respect of any of the terms unless and until the Secretary of State is required to release him in respect of each of the other terms;
b nothing in this Part of this Act shall require the Secretary of State or the Parole Board to consider his release in respect of any of the terms unless and until the Secretary of State or the Parole Board is required to consider his release, or the Secretary of State is required to release him, in respect of each of the other terms; and
c where he is released on licence under this Part of this Act , other than on licence under section 3AA, he shall be on a single licence which—
i shall (unless revoked) remain in force until the date on which he would (but for his release) have served in full all the sentences in respect of which he has been so released; and
ii shall be subject to such conditions as may be specified under or required by this Part of this Act in respect of any of the sentences.
2 Where a prisoner who is serving any term of imprisonment receives a sentence of imprisonment or other detention for life, for an indeterminate period or without limit of time which is to take effect on the day after he would (but for the sentence so received) be entitled to be released from the term, nothing in this Part of this Act shall require—
a the Scottish Ministers to release him in respect of any such term unless and until they are required to release him in respect of the sentence so received; or
b the Scottish Ministers or the Parole Board to consider his release in respect of any such term unless and until the Scottish Ministers are or the Parole Board is required to consider his release, or the Scottish Ministers are required to release him, in respect of the sentence so received.

1B Prisoners serving consecutive sentences including at least one terrorism or national security-related sentence

1 This section applies where—
a a prisoner has been sentenced to two or more terms of imprisonment which are to be served consecutively on each other,
b one or more of the sentences (the “terrorism or national security-related sentence”) was imposed—
i in respect of an offence within section 1AB(2), or
ii under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act in respect of an offence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB to that Act (offences involving or connected with a threat to national security), and
c the sentences were imposed on the same occasion or, where they were imposed on different occasions, the prisoner has not been released under this Part at any time during the period beginning with the first and ending with the last of those occasions.
2 If the prisoner is serving a terrorism or national security-related sentence and a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence, the terrorism or national security-related sentence is to be served (or, where subsection (7) applies, treated as being served) after that other sentence irrespective of when the sentences were imposed.
3 Where subsection (2) applies, the prisoner is to be taken to begin serving the custodial part of the terrorism or national security-related sentence (or first such sentence) as soon as the prisoner has served the custodial part of the other sentence.
4 If (but for this section) the prisoner would have been released on licence under this Part in respect of a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence, the period during which the prisoner would have been on licence under this Part is to be served concurrently with the custodial part of the terrorism or national security-related sentence.
5 The prisoner may not be released under this Part in respect of the terrorism or national security-related sentence unless and until the prisoner has served the aggregate of—
a if the prisoner is serving a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence, the custodial part of the sentence, and
b the custodial part of each terrorism or national security-related sentence that the prisoner is serving.
6 Subsection (7) applies where—
a a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence is imposed on the prisoner (the “new sentence”), and
b the prisoner has already served part of the custodial part of a terrorism or national security-related sentence (the “served part”).
7 The prisoner is to be treated as having served—
a where the served part is less than the custodial part of the new sentence, such part of the custodial part of the new sentence as is equal to the served part,
b where the served part is equal to the custodial part of the new sentence, the custodial part of the new sentence,
c where the served part exceeds the custodial part of the new sentence—
i the custodial part of the new sentence, and
ii so much of the custodial part of the terrorism or national security-related sentence as is equal to the amount by which the served part exceeds the custodial part of the new sentence.
8 Nothing in this Part requires—
a the Scottish Ministers to release the prisoner in respect of any of the terms of imprisonment unless and until they are required to release the prisoner in respect of each of the other terms of imprisonment,
b the Scottish Ministers or the Parole Board to consider the prisoner's release in respect of any of the terms of imprisonment unless and until the Ministers are or the Board is required to consider the prisoner's release, or the Ministers are required to release the prisoner, in respect of each of the other terms.
9 If the prisoner is released on licence under this Part the prisoner is to be on licence, on and after the release, until the prisoner would, but for the release, have served a term equal in length to the aggregate length of the term of imprisonment of any sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence and the term or, as the case may be, terms of imprisonment for the terrorism or national security-related sentence or sentences less the period mentioned in subsection (10).
10 The period is—
a any period served concurrently in accordance with subsection (4), and
b if (but for this section) the prisoner would have been released unconditionally under section 1(1) in respect of a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence, the period equal to one-half of the term of that sentence.
11 Where a prisoner to which this section applies is released on licence under this Part (other than a licence under section 3AA), the release is to be on a single licence which is to be subject to such conditions as may be specified or required by this Part in relation to all the sentences in respect of which the prisoner has been so released.
12 In this section “custodial part”, in relation to a term of imprisonment means a period equal to the part of the term that (but for this section) the prisoner would be required to serve before—
a the Scottish Ministers are required to release the prisoner under this Part, or
b the Parole Board is first entitled under this Part to make a recommendation that the prisoner be released on licence under this Part.
13 In this section—
a references to a sentence that is not a terrorism or national security-related sentence include references to two or more such sentences that are treated as a single term by virtue of section 27(5) (whether imposed before, after or both before and after a terrorism or national security-related sentence), and
b where subsection (7) applies, the references in that subsection to the “custodial part of the new sentence” include references to the custodial part of the single term.
14 This section applies to a prisoner on whom sentence was imposed before the day on which paragraph 52(6) of Schedule 13 to the Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act 2021 came into force as it applies to a prisoner on whom sentence was imposed on or after that day.

C14b fix the date when it will next consider the prisoner’s case under this section, being , subject to subsections (5AB) to (5AD) below, a date not later than two years after the date of its decision to decline to direct the release of the prisoner.
5AB Where a reference has been made to the Parole Board under any of the provisions mentioned in subsection (5A) above and the prisoner receives another sentence of imprisonment (whether for life or for a term) before a date has been fixed for considering his case, the Board shall, if he would not be eligible for release from the other sentence on the date which would (apart from this subsection) have been fixed for considering his case, fix a date (other than that date) for considering his case.
5AC Where, at any time after such a reference has been made—
a a date has been fixed for considering the prisoner’s case; or
b following the disposal of the reference, a date has been fixed under subsection (5A)(b) above,
and, before that date, the prisoner receives any other sentence of imprisonment (whether for life or for a term), the Board shall, if he would not be eligible for release from any such other sentence on that date, fix a different date for considering his case (and where he receives any further sentence of imprisonment from which he would not be eligible for release on that different date, the Board shall fix a further different date).
5AD Any date fixed under subsection (5AB) or (5AC) above shall—
a be—
i the date on which the prisoner would be eligible to be released, or considered for release, from all such other sentences (subject to any change to the date on which he would be so eligible); or
ii a date as soon as practicable after that date; and
b replace any date previously fixed for considering the prisoner’s case.

5C The Parole Board, at the request of a life prisoner in respect of whom it has, under subsection (5A)(b) , (5AB) or (5AC) above, fixed the date of the next consideration of his case, may direct the Scottish Ministers to refer that case to the Board before that date.
C136 Where this subsection applies, a F10. . . life prisoner may, subject to subsections (6B) , (6C) and (7) below, F27. . . require the Secretary of State to refer his case to the Parole Board.

a they have previously so referred his case to the Board under that subsection;
b they have referred his case to the Board without the prisoner requiring them to do so under that subsection; or
c the Parole Board has, on a reference to it under section 28(4) of the 1989 Act, under section 17(3) of this Act or under paragraph 34, 38 or 42 of the schedule to the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 7), declined to direct that the prisoner be released on licence.
6B No requirement may be made under subsection (6) by a life prisoner who is also serving or liable to serve a sentence of imprisonment in respect of an offence within section 1AB(2)—
a in the case of a prisoner to whom section 1AB(3) applies, before the day on which the Scottish Ministers are required to refer the prisoner's case to the Parole Board under section 1AB(3), or
b in the case of a prisoner to whom section 1AB(3) does not apply by virtue of section 1AB(2A), before the day on which the Scottish Ministers are required to release the prisoner under section 26ZA(5).
6C No requirement may be made under subsection (6) by a life prisoner who is also serving or liable to serve a sentence of imprisonment imposed under section 205ZC of the 1995 Act in respect of an offence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 5ZB to that Act (offences involving or connected with a threat to national security) before the day on which the Scottish Ministers are required to refer the prisoner’s case to the Parole Board under section 1AB(3).
7 No requirement shall be made under subsection (6) above by a life prisoner (other than a prisoner to whom subsection (6B) or (6C) applies) who is also serving or liable to serve a sentence of imprisonment for a term, before he has served the appropriate part of the term.
7A The appropriate part of the term is—
a one half, where the term is—

10 In subsection (9) above, the reference to “sentences of imprisonment for life” is to be construed as including a reference to any sentence constituted by an order for lifelong restriction.

2A Rules for section 2(2)(d) cases

1 For the purpose of section 2(2)(d), the matters are—
a any period of imprisonment which the court considers would have been appropriate for the offence had the court not sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for life, or (as the case may be) not made the order for lifelong restriction, for it,
b the part of that period of imprisonment which would represent an appropriate period to satisfy the requirements of retribution and deterrence, and
c where appropriate, the ones mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 196(1) of the 1995 Act.
2 But—
a in the application of subsection (1)(a), the court is to ignore any period of confinement which may be necessary for the protection of the public,

c subsection (1)(c) is inapplicable until the court has made the assessment required by virtue of subsection (1)(a) and (b).

2B Assessment under section 2A(1)(a) and (b)

1 Subject to section 205ZB(2) of the 1995 Act, the part mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of section 2A in relation to the period mentioned in subsection (1)(a) of that section is—
a one-half of that period, or
b if subsection (2) applies, such greater proportion of that period as the court specifies.
2 This subsection applies if, taking into account in particular the matters mentioned in subsection (5), the court considers that it would be appropriate to specify as that part a greater proportion of that period.
3 In subsections (1)(b) and (2), the references to a greater proportion extend so as to include the whole of that period.
4 In subsections (1) to (3), the references to the period mentioned in subsection (1)(a) of section 2A are to that period as informed by subsection (2)(a) of that section.
5 For the purpose of subsection (2), the matters are (continuing to ignore any period of confinement which may be necessary for the protection of the public)—
a the seriousness of the offence, or of the offence combined with other offences of which the prisoner is convicted on the same indictment as that offence,

1 The Secretary of State may at any time, if satisfied that there are compassionate grounds justifying the release of a person serving a sentence of imprisonment, release him on licence.
2 Before so releasing any long-term prisoner or any life prisoner, the Secretary of State shall consult the Parole Board unless the circumstances are such as to render consultation impracticable.
3 The release of a person under subsection (1) above shall not constitute release for the purpose of a supervised release order.

a a short-term prisoner serving a sentence of imprisonment for a term of three months or more; or

2 The power in subsection (1) above is not to be exercised before the prisoner has served 15% of the prisoner's sentence.
C533 Without prejudice to subsection (2) above, the power in subsection (1) above is to be exercised only during that period of 196 days which ends on the day 14 days before that on which the prisoner is entitled to be released under this Part.
4 In exercising the power conferred by subsection (1) above, the Scottish Ministers must have regard to considerations of—
a protecting the public at large;
b preventing re-offending by the prisoner; and
c securing the successful re-integration of the prisoner into the community.
5 Subsection (1) above does not apply where—
a the prisoner's sentence was imposed under section 210A of the 1995 Act;

3D Parliamentary scrutiny of regulations made under section 3C

1 Regulations under section 3C are subject to the affirmative procedure, unless subsection (2) applies to them.

b subject to subsection (2H) below, a copy of any report by the trial judge;
c a copy of any certificate or direction referred to in subsection (2D) above; and
d any other documents or information which the Scottish Ministers consider relevant.
2H A report prepared by the trial judge—
a may be sent under subsection (2F) above notwithstanding that it was prepared on the basis that it would not be disclosed to the transferred life prisoner; and
b shall be so sent for the purposes only of the hearing under subsection (2J) below.
2J There shall be a hearing at which the High Court of Justiciary shall make the order referred to in subsection (2K) below.
2K That order is an order specifying a part of the sentence which the court considers would have been specified as the punishment part under subsection (2) of section 2 of this Act, if—
a the prisoner had been sentenced for the offence in Scotland; and
b that section (as amended by the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland)) Act 2001 (asp 7)) had been in force at the time when the prisoner was sentenced.
2L The court, in considering the case of a transferred life prisoner—
a who is serving more than one sentence of imprisonment for life; and
b two or more of whose life sentences were imposed in proceedings on a single indictment,
shall, in making the order under subsection (2J) above, proceed as if the prisoner had been sentenced in Scotland and section 205D (only one sentence of imprisonment for life to be imposed in any proceedings) of the 1995 Act had been in force at the time the prisoner was sentenced.
2M Such a transferred life prisoner who, before being transferred to Scotland, had been released on licence, otherwise than on compassionate grounds, shall be deemed to have been released on licence under section 2(4) of this Act as if the transferred life prisoner had been a life prisoner to whom that section applied and who had served the punishment part of his sentence.
2N The reference in this section to a transferred life prisoner’s release on compassionate grounds has the same meaning as that reference has in section 10A of this Act.
2P The court shall pronounce the order under subsection (2J) above in open court.
2Q If the court is satisfied that the transferred life prisoner is incapable of properly instructing a solicitor in relation to the hearing under subsection (2J) above, whether or not the prisoner has so instructed a solicitor, it shall not make the order under that subsection.
2R If the Scottish Ministers are satisfied that the prisoner is no longer incapable of instructing a solicitor in relation to the hearing under subsection (2J) above, they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, refer the case of the prisoner to the court for such a hearing.
2S In this section—
  • “incapable” means incapable by reason of mental disorder or of inability to communicate because of physical disability; but a person shall not fall within this definition by reason only of a lack or deficiency in a faculty of communication if that lack or deficiency can be made good by human or mechanical aid (whether of an interpretative nature or otherwise); and
  • “mental disorder” has the same meaning as it has in section 87 of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 4).
2T Nothing in this section shall be taken as preventing a prisoner, in respect of whom the court declined, under subsection (2Q) above, to make the order under subsection (2J) above, from again referring his case for a hearing under subsection (2J) above.
2U A hearing under subsection (2J) above shall be criminal procedure for the purposes of section 305 of the 1995 Act (power of High Court of Justiciary to regulate criminal procedure by Act of Adjournal).
3 In a case to which this subsection applies (whether by virtue of subsection (2) above or of subsection (2B) above), this Part of this Act except section 2(9) shall apply as if—
a the transferred life prisoner were a F77. . . life prisoner within the meaning of section 2 of this Act; and
b the punishment part of his sentence within the meaning of that section were the part specified in the order under subsection (2J) above or as the case may be in the certificate or direction referred to in subsection (2D) above.
4 In this section “transferred life prisoner” means a person—
a on whom a court in a country or territory outside Scotland or a court-martial has (whether before or after the commencement of this section) imposed one or more sentences of imprisonment or detention for an indeterminate period; and
b who has been transferred to Scotland , or in the case of a sentence imposed by a court martial in Scotland to a prison in Scotland (in either case whether before or after that commencement), in pursuance of—
i an order made by the Secretary of State under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 , other than an order for a restricted transfer within the meaning of paragraph 6(1) of that Schedule to that Act,or section 2 of the M2Colonial Prisoners Removal Act 1884; or
ia a decision of the Secretary of State under section 80 (removal of patients to Scotland) of the Mental Health Act 1983 (c.20) authorising the prisoner’s removal to Scotland from England and Wales; or
ib a decision of the responsible authority under article 6 (removal to Scotland of patients to Northern Ireland) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2005 M3 authorising the prisoner's removal to Scotland from Northern Ireland
ii a warrant issued by the Secretary of State under the M4Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984, ; or
iii rules made under section 122(1)(a) of the M5Army Act 1955 (imprisonment and detention rules); or
iv rules made under section 122(1)(a) of the M6Air Force Act 1955 (imprisonment and detention rules); or
v a determination made under section 81(3) of the M7Naval Discipline Act 1957 (place of imprisonment or detention),
there to serve, or to serve the remainder of, his sentence or sentences ; and in this subsection “prison” has the same meaning as in the 1989 Act..
4A The reference in subsection (4)(b) above to a person who has been transferred to Scotland in pursuance of a warrant under the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 includes a reference to a person who is detained in Scotland in pursuance of a warrant issued by the Scottish Ministers under section 4A of that Act (warrant transferring responsibility for detention and release of offender).
4B Such a person is to be taken to have been transferred when the warrant under section 4A of that Act was issued in respect of that person.
5 Where a transferred life prisoner has been transferred to Scotland to serve the whole or part of two or more sentences referred to in subsection (4)(a) above—
a he shall be treated as a F92. . . life prisoner (within the meaning of section 2 of this Act) for the purposes of subsection (3) above only if the requirements of subsection (2) above are satisfied in respect of each of those sentences; and
b notwithstanding the terms of any order under the said section 28(2) of the the 1997 Act section 82A(2) of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 (c.6), section 269(2) of, or paragraph 3(1)(a) of Schedule 22 to, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, section 321(2) of the Sentencing Code or paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 2 to the Isle of Man Custody Act or under a provision such as is mentioned in subsection (1A) above relating to Northern Ireland or of any order under subsection (2J) above, subsections (4) and (6) of section 2 of this Act shall not apply to him until he has served the punishment part of each of those sentences.

Terrorism and national security-related sentences

26ZA Terrorism and national security-related sentences

1 This section applies to a person (“the prisoner”) who—
a is not a life prisoner, and
b is serving a terrorism or national security-related sentence.
2 A terrorism or national security-related sentence is—
a a sentence of imprisonment imposed under section 205ZA of the 1995 Act (serious terrorism sentence),
b a sentence of imprisonment imposed under section 205ZC of that Act (F401... sentence with fixed licence period), or
c an extended sentence imposed under section 210A of that Act in respect of a terrorism offence.
3 Subject to the provisions of this section, this Part, except sections 1AB, 1A and 1B, applies in relation to a terrorism or national security-related sentence as if any reference to a sentence or term of imprisonment were a reference to the appropriate custodial term of a terrorism or national security-related sentence.
4 Where the prisoner is released on licence under this Part the licence remains in force until the end of the extension period (but subject to section 17).
5 Where, apart from this subsection, the prisoner would be released unconditionally at the end of the appropriate custodial term—
a the prisoner must be released on licence, and
b the licence remains in force until the end of the extension period (but subject to section 17).
6 The extension period is to be taken to begin—
a for the purposes of subsection (4), on the day following the date on which, had there been no extension period, the prisoner would have ceased to be on licence in respect of the appropriate custodial term;
b for the purposes of subsection (5), on the day on which, apart from that subsection, the prisoner would have been released unconditionally at the end of the appropriate custodial term.
7 Where the prisoner is subject to two or more terrorism or national security-related sentences, the extension period which is taken to begin in accordance with subsection (6) is the aggregate of the extension period of each of those sentences.
8 Subsection (7) is subject to—
a sections 1A(1)(c) and 1B(11), and
b in the case of a F407... sentence imposed under section 205ZA of the 1995 Act, subsection (10) of that section and any direction by the court imposing the sentence.
9 For the purposes of sections 12(3) and 17(1), the question of whether the prisoner is a long-term or short-term prisoner is to be determined by reference to the terrorism or national security-related sentence.
10 In the application of this Part to a terrorism or national security-related sentence—
a references in sections 1A(1)(c) and 16(1)(a) to the date on which a prisoner would have served the prisoner's sentence in full are to be read as if they were references to the date on which the terrorism or national security-related sentence as originally imposed by the court would expire, and
b the reference in section 17(5) to a prisoner being liable to be detained in pursuance of the prisoner's sentence is to be read as if it were a reference to the prisoner being liable to be detained until the expiry of the extension period.
11 For the purposes of this section—
  • “appropriate custodial term”, in relation to a terrorism or national security-related sentence imposed on a F412... prisoner, means—
    1. the term determined as such by the court that imposes the sentence on the prisoner under section 205ZA or, as the case may be, section 205ZC of the 1995 Act, or
    2. the term determined as the custodial term by the court that imposes the extended sentence on the prisoner under section 210A of that Act;
  • “extension period” means—
    1. in relation to a sentence of imprisonment imposed on a F413... prisoner under section 205ZA of the 1995 Act, the period specified as such under that section by the court that imposes the sentence on the prisoner;
    2. in relation to a sentence of imprisonment imposed on a F413... prisoner under section 205ZC of that Act, the period of 1 year specified as such under that section by the court that imposes the sentence on the prisoner;
    3. in relation to an extended sentence imposed on a F413... prisoner under section 210A of that Act in respect of a terrorism offence, the period specified as such under that section by the court that imposes the sentence on the prisoner.

Extended sentences

2 Subject to the provisions of this section, this Part of this Act, except sections 1A and 1B, shall apply in relation to extended sentences as if any reference to a sentence or term of imprisonment was a reference to the custodial term of an extended sentence.
3 Where a prisoner subject to an extended sentence is released on licence under this Part the licence shall, subject to any revocation under section 17 of this Act, remain in force until the end of the extension period.
4 Where, apart from this subsection, a prisoner subject to an extended sentence would be released unconditionally—

6 Subject to sections 1A(1)(c) and 1B(11) of this Act and section 210A(3) of the 1995 Act and to any direction by the court which imposes an extended sentence, where a prisoner is subject to two or more extended sentences, the extension period which is taken to begin in accordance with subsection (5) above shall be the aggregate of the extension period of each of those sentences.
7 For the purposes of sections 12(3) and 17(1) of this Act, and subject to subsection (8) below, the question whether a prisoner is a long-term or short-term prisoner shall be determined by reference to the extended sentence.

9 In relation to a prisoner subject to an extended sentence, the reference in section 17(5) of this Act to the prisoner being “liable to be detained in pursuance of his sentence” shall be construed as a reference to the prisoner being liable to be detained until the expiry of the extension period.
10 For the purposes of this section “custodial term”, “extension period” and “imprisonment” shall have the same meaning as in section 210A of the 1995 Act.
11 In section 1A(c) and section 16(1)(a) of this Act, the reference to the date on which a prisoner would have served his sentence in full shall mean, in relation to a prisoner subject to an extended sentence, the date on which the extended sentence, as originally imposed by the court, would expire.

2 The release of a prisoner may be brought forward under subsection (1) only if, in the Scottish Ministers' opinion, it would be better for the prisoner's re-integration into the community for the prisoner to be released on the earlier day than on the day on which the prisoner would otherwise fall to be released.
3 The release of a prisoner may not be brought forward under subsection (1) by more than 2 working days (that is, days other than a Saturday or Sunday or a public holiday as described in section 27(8)).
4 In a case in which section 27(7) applies, a reference in this section to the day on which a prisoner would fall to be released is to the day on which the prisoner would fall to be released by virtue of that section.
5 This section does not apply in relation to a prisoner who is serving a sentence of imprisonment for a term of less than 15 days.
