Prisoners could lose 25% remission off sentence as a consequence of misbehaviour 

A person given a 10-year prison sentence by the courts, is freed after serving seven and a half years, with the remaining two and a half years remitted.

Continuing misbehaviour by prisoners “should have consequences” for the 25% remission off sentences that the bulk of inmates benefit from, a justice minister has said.

Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Hildegarde Naughton, made the comment as she launched a review into how remission is applied to prisoners.
