how many prisoners have a whole life tariff
List of prisoners with whole-life orders This is a list of prisoners who have received a whole-life order through some mechanism in jurisdictions of the United Kingdom. It has been reportedly issued in approximately 100 cases since its introduction in 1983, although some of these prisoners have since died in custody, or had their sentences reduced on appeal. There are now believed to be at least 75 prisoners currently serving whole life sentences in England and Wales.[1][2] These include some of Britain's most notorious criminals, including the "Yorkshire Ripper" Peter Sutcliffe.
