We will always have enough prison places for those sent to us by the courts. There will be more adult male prison capacity in May 2015 than there was at the start of this Parliament.</p><p>Police cells, under Operation Safeguard, have not been used since 22 September 2008 and no police cells under Operation Safeguard have been on stand by since the end of October 2008.</p><p>We are not using police cells due to a lack of space but because it is not always possible to transfer prisoners from courts to prisons in the time available at the end of court sittings - we have over half a million prisoner transfers a year so it is unsurprising that occasionally we cannot get prisoners back to their prison for one night.</p><p>As part of standard logistical arrangements, there are occasions where prisoners may be temporarily held overnight in police cells.. This is solely for overnight accommodation by the police before collection and onward transmission to the prison establishment the following working day. This is not the same as using Operation Safeguard, as in 2007-08.</p><p>For the above occasions, under the existing National Offender Management Service /Association of Chief Police Officers National Framework Agreement, it costs £55 for a prisoner to stay in a police cell overnight</p><p>The following table shows i) the total number of prisoners who were temporarily held overnight in police cells in England and Walesin each year since 2005-06 and ii) of which, the numbers held in police cells in the Suffolk Police Force area (identified by the number in brackets), in each year since 2009-10. The totals include adults, young adults (18 to 20-year-olds) and young people (15 to 17-year-olds). In order to identify individual police station locations to identify those in the Bury St Edmunds constituency would require a manual check of each record and this could not be done without incurring disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2005-06</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2006-07</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2007-08</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2008-09</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2009-10</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010-11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011-12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>286</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>16,719</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>52,879</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>4,769</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>182 (1)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>191 (6)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>1,474 (1)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>686 (1)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>1,412 (4)</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 24/06/2014 11:45:45 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
