Absconders from prison 1117/2025

FOI Reference: 1117/2025

Request:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please provide me with a list of all the absconders from prison who remain at large now, where Dyfed-Powys Police is the relevant police force that instigated or has led the manhunt.

Using the formal definition that I see is used by some police forces, an absconder from prison may be any person who:

1. has been remanded in custody pending trial and has absconded; or
2. has been convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment following a trial or guilty plea and absconded, or
3. has been released on temporary license (ROTL) whilst serving a custodial sentence and has absconded.

For each absconder, please detail which of the a, b or c definitions above applies to them. Please also detail which facility they absconded from (such as an open prison), what offence they had been charged with or convicted of, the length of their sentence if they had been convicted, and the date on which they absconded. These cases may be just a few days old or they may date back years if they have never been captured.

Response:

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

There are currently no absconders that remain at large.
